Kerstin Dathe

The puppet theater piece tells the story of little Fritz almost without words. Fritz is different. He has his way of looking at the world, is slower, more fearful, quieter and perhaps more sensitive than his peers. It is difficult for him to understand, and the people around him remain a mystery to him. The others simply think he is stupid. Not so the mysterious snail that invites him to her house, a place where meet all those who are not quite "normal", such as the chatterbox and the little firefly with the loose contact. Through all of them Fritz learns to recognize his strengths, he gains the courage and the strength to believe in himself and the self-confidence to stand by himself. And he can do that in a way that lets others see how rich the world is when you get involved with them. A story that encourages one to be the way one is, to tell in an imaginative way that everyone has a place that makes him strong, if only his shell.

Peter Wawerzinek is the son of a single mother who left him and his one year younger sister in 1956 in their apartment in Rostock and moved to the West. After finding the children in the completely neglected apartment, Wawerzinek spent ten years apart from his sister in state orphanages until he was adopted by a teacher couple and grew up in various locations on the Baltic Sea.

Peter Wawerzinek published after the turn first a collection of parodies of GDR literature, then bizarre, experimental prose texts in a breathless prose about an outsider of the GDR society. Other works by Wawerzinek are strongly autobiographical and have the home region of the author - Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - on the subject. Wawerzinek also writes radio plays and journalistic texts.

Frank Schäfer

The enfant terrible of the GDR hairdressing guild: cult barber Frank Schäfer tells of his life as an East Berlin punk and bird of paradise

Frank Schäfer, son of the famous GDR actor Gerd E. Schäfer, has always had something against straightforwardness. Instead of a bourgeois life in the GDR, he preferred the excess in the East Berlin party scene, discovered his love for men and became a sought after hairdresser and stylist due to his funky ideas.

In his biography, he draws a vivid picture of the East Berlin underground scene in the eighties and how to deal with homosexuality in the East. He reports on the daily harassment of the GDR authorities, the resulting flight to West Berlin and how he took his fanciful ideas there at the time of the change.

Shepherd candidly and honestly describes how he became a style icon solely through authenticity, without being guided by social or political pressure, and how he never sought happiness in his life, but in the end has always experienced a lot of luck.
