Carl Lauf's "Pension Schöller" for the pop music generation
Bridge Markland

Philipp Klapproth is rich and wants to really experience something for once and his nephew Alfred Klapproth urgently needs money. This leads them to conclude the following deal: in exchange for a reasonable payment, the nephew organizes a soiree in a mental institution for him. No sooner said than done. Bridge Markland, a virtuoso of role-play, sets the classic Schwank play Pension Schöller (1890) to current pop music for her one-woman-show and transforms it into a puppet-transformation art-playback show.
