In her first work for theatre, Viennese film director Kurdwin Ayub tells the story of a woman who stops at nothing for her passion with grim humour, featuring rapper addeN and star actor Georg Friedrich in the leading parts.

It is a daring reinterpretation of the popular story of Sheherazade from the Arabian Nights into an erotic adventure we can empathize with. In 2666, Queen Aliah is the ruler of the Muslim state of Europe, satisfying her desires with a brand-new white man every night. She kills every one of them the morning after – simply because they are getting on her nerves. Terrified men are hiding from the queen’s knights throughout Europe. One day, however, an old white man volunteers to spend a night with the queen. Just like Sheherazade did once upon a time, he recounts a long story: the story of the white widow. Following the international success of her latest film Moon with Florentina Holzinger in the lead, Viennese film director Kurdwin Ayub (born in 1990 in Iraq) delivers her first work for theatre, telling the story of a woman who stops at nothing for her passion with grim humour, featuring rapper addeN and Georg Friedrich in the lead roles and a spectacular set by Nina von Mechow.
