Play Sylvia und Sybille, Dresden theatre, 2023–2024, original written play is by Christa Winsloe, modern version is by the director Daniela Löffner. (Visit the blog for more information.)
Happiness aplenty. (My reaction: :D)
Photo: Sebastian Hoppe, too high brightness and contrast edited by me (not good enough yet, but better.)
Sylvia und Sybille (by Christa Winsloe, modern theatre version by Daniela Löffner): Sybille with her son Fritz (Fanny Staffa and Daniel Séjourné.) This wonderful facial expression *Dear son, I have an idea what to do.*
Right before this . . . (for clarification of the plot)
Mum Sybille wanted to help her son who loved classmate Sylvia, but for the girl, he was a friend only.
Both gifs are in slow motion (main reason is gif 1.)
。。。。。
As a person who can act (amateur level), but doesn't understand others' inability or ability to act (plus a level of,) and totaly no is only when a person is too bad like a robot, facial expressions leave limited-amount-of-possible-facial-expressions me in awe, and this (gif 1) is an absolutely yes action in my opinion. (Although if look attentively, this greatness is possible to imitate.)
Fanny Staffa 👏👏👏

(For those who don't know, there won't be straight love, but something much, MUCH better instead :D and fanfictions about this as well.)
1. Full story (1 of 2 readers), 2. 2 chapters, but there is the same photo of Fanny (a. alone; b. 1 of 2 readers.) The rest is 1 part 2 times, no additional readers.
Both photos (1&2) are black & white; all 4 photos are from images for SoundCloud audio files of Dresden theatre. Note: the theatre calls this reading podcast (about 1&2.)
Original images of 1&2 (they include details) & links to all audios and details are under Keep reading.

ABOUT 2nd part. ("The rest.") 1976 born Fanny had to learn Russian as a school subject because of Soviet Union's demand, dammit *insert a dragon exhaling fire as my reaction* 2 sites with Fanny's page as an actress have Russian in the category languages (there are facts, e.g. languages, sports etc.)
There's book series Wizard of Oz by L. F. Baum (and various published sequels/side stories (by Baum and/or other writers) set in the same World or (partly?) in Kansas where everything had started (fiction, not non-existent real events.)
Volkov's Wizard (Magician?) of Emerald City is, actually, a translation of Wizard of Oz which he published as a rewritten book (including changed names), and children didn't even know it wasn't the original, as they thought it was Volkov's creation.
Part of the information is thanks to the article (a random informative one, found as one of Google Web search results): https://lithub.com/did-the-russian-wizard-of-oz-subvert-soviet-propaganda (NOTE: skip all the political parts & read comparisons only (the reason of the recommendation.)
PHOTOS: Year: 2020 (CoronaVirus pandemic), so #1 (3rd in total) is the reason of white-ish hands. Fanny has tight gloves on due to demands of the time. (Personally, poor Fanny, it's too hot & uncomfortable.)
As text under #1's audio says (a part of, corrected (by me) auto translation of a browser page) ". . . Nine actors | actresses from our ensemble(?) have come to our recording studio for individual recordings to share <b>short readings of books which are close to [their] hearts.</b>
#2 (4th in total.) For some reason, nearly exact same time, but no gloves (yes!) Clothes is more than downright simple (YES personally), It's also a walking (here: sitting) flag. It hit me accidentally (after a short period of time), but I had no idea which German state it is. Thanks to Deutsch Wikipedia, it is a simplified version of the flag of Saxonia-Anhalt.
