In "Broken Brecht", "The Women" ask themselves how it could happen that the statue of the famous poet Bert or Bertolt or Berthold ... BRECHT could fall?

One thing is clear: it's broken now. "The event has taken place, this is where the repetition takes place". The text "The Street Scene", in which Bertolt Brecht explores his idea of epic theater and which revolutionized theater after its publication in 1938, still serves as a model with far-reaching consequences today. Even though Brecht was primarily concerned with an aesthetic reconstruction of the theater, "The Street Scene" is also a social and political tool for dissecting events.

"The women" take up the model. They try to remember and come up against countless questions in their investigation: Who commissioned the construction of the statue? Who ultimately built it? Who dedicated it? And why is it no longer standing? More protagonists than initially thought seem to be involved in the construction of the now iconic statue. Their provisional work leads to the deconstruction of memory and historiography. In the end, "The Women" arrive at themselves in a Brechtian alienated state and create a new monument.
