A picture from the past is sent anonymously to Jesko's mobile phone. Out of nowhere, he is confronted with something that he had actually buried deep in the turmoil of his youth at Catholic boarding school. What actually happened back then? Memories of Father Stein, who regularly photographed the pupils back then, come to mind. The search for the sender of the picture begins, but also the search for the truth and how to deal with a time at school that was perhaps more traumatising than he would like to admit. Three former schoolmates are sought out. All of them have taken different paths in life, have different memories of what happened and have different ways of dealing with the events that are now being set in motion.

Nestroy's ‘Talisman’ is a highly comical and bitterly wicked social comedy about the poison of prejudice. Titus Feuerfuchs, a red-haired vagabond, is looking for work. At first in vain, because prejudice outweighs compassion for someone who is at the bottom. Titus' fiery red mop of hair arouses considerable antipathy among his fellow men. The tide turns when he saves the hairdresser Monsieur Marquis from an accident. In return, he is given a jet-black wig as a talisman. Within a very short space of time, Titus uses his sharp wit and fluid identities to masterfully cheat his way to the top of society through the most absurd mix-ups.

The story of the battle between two not entirely respectable businessmen, the beggar clan king Peachum and the burglar king Macheath, known as Mackie Messer, was advertised as a ‘play with music’ at its premiere in 1928 and was essentially the first German-language musical. Bertolt Brecht wrote the text together with Elisabeth Hauptmann, while Kurt Weill composed the immortal music. The three of them achieved a legendary worldwide success. In the new version at the St. Pauli Theatre, the songs are brought back to the fore in all their force. And if you look around, not only in the small world of the neighbourhood, but also in the big world of politics, you realise that not much has changed since Brecht's analysis.
