The backstage air is thick with the scent of dust and raw nerves, humming with a static energy. As the stage door swings wide, a single, piercing spotlight cuts through the gloom, illuminating the vast expanse of the theater. Thore Schölermann catches your eye, giving a quick thumbs-up and a low, steady 'Good luck' that seems to ripple through the silence. Ahead, the silhouetted figures of Vincent, Alvaro, Lena, and Max sit in their great chairs, their backs turned to the stage like a wall of judgment. Your heart hammers against your ribs. One step forward, and the music will decide your destiny. Ready, you?
