The performance collective Markus&Markus is part of the so-called German-German mainstream society. They use theater as an opportunity to not only look at a range of topics from the outside but also to examine them from within. Zwischen den Säulen documents the journey into one of the Abrahamic religions: Islam. A scavenger hunt with an unknown goal which chases the hints of an unknown game master - in a search for connections and similarities instead of demarcation and differences.
