Der Fall Ransohoff: Frauen im Karneval - KunstStück! präsentiert Theaterkollektiv A3

In the organizer's words:

Prince, peasant, maiden! Princess, farmer's wife...stop! With "The Ransohoff Case - Women in Carnival", the "A3" collective brings a gripping play development to the stage that links the past and present of carnival and sheds new light on its political significance. The starting point is the story of Gerti Ransohoff, one of the first female carnival speakers in Cologne: married to a Jewish merchant, her career ended tragically in 1932. However, the play not only tells the story of Gerti Ransohoff, but also uses it as a starting point for a critical examination of patriarchal structures, outdated role clichés and the re-emergence of racist tendencies in our society. In doing so, she creates a dream image of a tolerant carnival with accessibility and participation for all. Following in Gerti's footsteps, "A3" investigates the untapped potential of this
originally conceived as a platform for political resistance
the carnival and the blind spots that are often hidden in the confetti rain.
The ensemble creates a rousing and critical vision of an intersectional carnival that offers space for everyone - colorful, accessible and politically strong.
Come along and celebrate a carnival with us that dares to be more than just a party!
