Die gelbe Tapete

In the organizer's words:

A woman moves to a house in the country with her husband and their baby for the summer. But instead of enjoying the idyllic setting, she feels depressed, tired and exhausted. Her husband - a doctor by profession - diagnoses a "nervous disorder" and prescribes rest, relaxation and a lack of stimulation. So she lies in her room and thinks: about her work. About her relationship. About being a mother. About her options. And, above all, about the wallpaper, whose pattern seems to be constantly changing.
The development of the play uses Charlotte Perkins Gilman's eerily tragic story 'The Yellow Wallpaper', published in 1892 and regarded as a key text of feminism, as a textual basis and explores its topicality. What has changed, apart from a few formulations? Are patriarchal inequalities and power asymmetries in couple relationships - especially in the difficult situation of postnatal depression - still as real as they were back then?
