Markus&Markus belong to the so-called German-German majority society. Theater is always an occasion for them to totally indulge in a theme. This was the case with their Ibsen trilogy, whose parts they have been presenting at the Schwankhalle since 2015.

And it is also the case with ›Zwischen den Säulen‹ that documents the journey to one of the Abrahamic religions: Islam. The piece is both fiction and reality, status quo and utopia. It doesn‘t explain the world, it creates a world. A travelogue of a paper chase with an unknown destination, in which they follow the instructions of a game master unknown to them.
