Two women meet by chance. They could hardly be more different. Theta breeds pigeons and takes Erike to her allotment garden. But everything is finite. What remains are synanthropes: pigeons, rats, flies, and martens. This play is also about them. It celebrates their disgusting and fascinating beauty. Poetry, lyrics, punk, prose, and drama behave wildly, while the encounter between these

two peculiar women is described so touchingly that the heart repeatedly skips a beat with joy.

What remains when we lose our culture? Caren Jeß knows how to transform this dystopian question

into an addictive pleasure. Be it through the songs of the fictional punk band Your Toothbrush, a playfully revealing commentary level from the author, or obscenely beautiful poems. One thing is clear: As long as all this is accomplished with such playful exuberance, culture cannot be lost.

For Nele Lindemans interpretation of Dem Marder Die Taube at the Baadisches Staatstheater in Karlsruhe, Till Eidinger and I embodied the Punkband Your Toothbrush and wrote / recorded / produced a small album of ear piercing experimental punk, based on Caren Jes text.
