A romantic comedy about love, relationships and sexual identity: woman or man, underscore or gender asterisk? The Olivier Award 2017 awarded, internationally successful "Westend Show" as a continental European premiere in Gemeindebautheater.
"You want to become a man?
No, I just want to stop being a woman. "
The lesbian Viennese expat couple Alice and Fiona have been living together for several years in the cosmopolitan port city of Rotterdam. Just when Alice, after years of hesitation, has the courage to come out in front of her parents, Fiona informs her that she actually identifies herself as a man and wants to live from then on as Adrian.
At first in shock, Alice tries to support Fiona / Adrian, but suddenly has a problem with her own sexuality: does the relationship with Adrian make her hetero?
