"Garland" is a theatrical adaptation of a film by Savaltore Brandt, known for his specialty in low-budget horror Heimatfilms in which, without an exception, no one survives. A pastoral comedy, a climate tragedy, a theatrical road movie, a Wizard of Oz farce, a police satire, a play full of oddball figures: here, somewhere in the Mideast of Europe, the losers, those who are left out, those with nothing to lose fight, come together in

solidarity, stumble, and catch themselves. The tenacious figures remind us that giving up is not an option, even when the problems are overwhelming. According to the writer, she was interested in catastrophes as a condition while writing "Garland".
