"[BLANK]" is a scenic experimental arrangement. A kaleidoscope of family constellations in one hundred freely combinable scenes. They shine a light on both the intrinsic violence in the concept of the "family" and the question of the role of family for social cohesion, which threatens to disappear more and more in times of capitalist acceleration.

In many smaller and larger encounters and with great affection for her characters, Alice Birch talks about the burden of family heritage, the wish for changing female role images and the attempt to escape the cycle of violence and abuse. At the same time, she presents the collective ignorance of a society that contributes to the upholding of a frequently flawed penal and social system, readily losing sight of precarious grievances.
