It is Ivy’s 21st birthday and her sister Masha presents her with a surprise guest: Andrew, her father, has returned to Germany after so many years. Her older sister Olivia is not amused. The reunion prompts a couple of questions: Would their lives with him as a Black role model have taken another course? Would the sisters have been happier living in the U.S.? How do you build up your identity, where is home and at which point are you actually German? Can Asian people play classical music or is this a case of cultural appropriation? And who is allowed to stage Chekhov, anyway? It’s a modern re-writing of the play Three Sisters.

The art collective Glossy Pain are co-operating in varying constellations with international artists from all areas. Glossy Pain’s focus is on feminist, anti-capitalist and anti-racist critique. Following Audre Lorde, the collective is on a mission to liberate the powers of eroticism from the clutches of patriarchy to use its driving force in the creation of a utopian realm of independent, collaborative forms of working beyond the bounds of hierarchical, patriarchal structures.
