How do we talk about war? In a time when every empathy is highly politicized and charged, leading to a fear of "wrong" words that makes one prefer silence. Can cross-border mourning also be learned at the community college? The "three steps" method applies the three stations of the Orpheus myth in a sober rehearsal room, the story of the first world rock stars: Free your inner grief! Dance pain and sing loss anxiety!

To imported rock music from the Middle East and distorted sounds of Monteverdi; with texts from Borchert, Kaléko, Kerem Hillel, and from Facebook reports, the old and almost lost magic of theater is revived for a moment: it should shine again in what it does best: bringing the dead to us!

The Orpheus myth provides support and structure for a dislocated score of international communication. How is a life with a constantly looming loss due to war possible? The lamentation rises, the course participants dive deeper into the traditional roles and enter the underworld: Do they stay there or do they return?

The young Israeli opera director and musician Kerem Hillel processes the events of the past year with this project: coming from a country at war where he is not currently located, he poses questions about belonging and tornness and concludes his directing studies at HfM Hanns Eisler with a very personal work.
