"How are things with Paul?" Marie asks. "Fine", says Karin. But that isn't true. Paul has disappeared. Wickwalz calls it "Fleeing from the Republic" and he happens to drop by more frequently now. He is nice and he asks Karin about things. Did Paul tell her anything? What did he tell her? He says that you can tell when someone you are close to is lying. And anyway, people who are in love don't leave. In her highly respected debut novel "Gittersee", Charlotte Gneuß tells the story of 16 year-old Karin who is torn from her daily life as a teenager without warning. She wakes up in a world where both truth and lies can be equally decreed by the state. A world where she soon wishes she didn't know the truth – just so she can't give it away.  CHARLOTTE GNEUß was born in Ludwigsburg in 1992 and studied social work in Dresden, literary writing in Leipzig and writing for the stage in Berlin. In her texts, she often draws towards the GDR, the reality and the utopian ideal where her parents grew up, and that no longer exists today. The piece is staged by young director Leonie Rebentisch as her first work at Neues Haus.
