Stephan Thiel:
Stille Wasser - Boys do cry

A PLAY ABOUT MAN

Men wage wars and lead companies; they conquer women and outer space. Men live shorter lives, are less educated and more violent than women – this is at least the common image. But what kind of struggles do they face within themselves? Stille Wasser deals with men and their fears - their fear of talking, getting fat, of women and of responsibility. Boys cry too. The actors: four women. For the quota’s sake a man is allowed to do the directing.
