Anja and Kati have the task of presenting Lusatian culture in Saxony to the class. They have exactly one hour to prepare. This hour is just in time for the lunch break. And just like in the old Lusatian-Serbian legend, the Lady Midday appears and wants to take the lives of those working during the lunch break with her sickle; unless they can talk to her for an hour without interruption. This interactive classroom production is about the search for identity, friendship, self-esteem and self-affirmation.

Landesbühnen Sachsen GmbH produces music, drama, dance and puppet theatre performances. Today's theatre is a descendant of the "Volksoper Dresden", founded in 1945, which was recognised as a public theatre in the official budget of the Free State of Saxony in 1949.
