Die gelbe Tapete


Written in 1892 by the American author Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper depicts the fate of a woman who does not meet the expectations which society imposes on her in her role as wife and mother. Rediscovered in the 1970s by the women’s movement, the text is now seen as a masterpiece of feminist literature. British director Katie Mitchell reinterpreted Gilman’s story as a study of post-natal depression, creating a live film work which was presented at Schaubühne in 2013.
