Countless garage complexes, individual garages as well as smaller and larger courtyards, characterise a not insignificant part of the cityscape in Chemnitz. Built during the GDR era or collectively in the past, they still bear witness to the personal memories and lives of many Chemnitz residents. But how does the next generation - the daughters and granddaughters - look at this legacy of their parents and grandparents? How do they use and upcycle these spaces? And what happens to the old stories, experiences and things?

They are dismantled and reassembled in a theatrical wonder box, filled with ideas and visions of the future. But be careful: some walls cannot simply be removed, otherwise everything will collapse. - How does change work and where does the need for continuity go? Based on research and interviews with garage owners from Chemnitz, the production by the Figurentheater Chemnitz combines garage stories, garage knowledge, garage experiences, garage myths and garage facts with garage dreams in a garage summer night. And above it all: the big wagon over Chemnitz, live music and colourful fairy lights.
