Dorothee Oberlinger, flute virtuoso, conducts a baroque musical rarity in the Potsdam Palace Theater: Georg Philipp Telemann's 'Pastorelle en musique'. This performance was recorded from a double perspective: in an opera film 'Pastorelle en musique', 115 min. and in a documentary film 'Backstage', 96 min., which sheds light on the musical and scenic rehearsals and the creation of the production.

Pan is the mythological figure of desire. His love for the nymph Echo is the beginning of the music as an infinite echo of longing and dream of love.  The concerts in the historic music halls of the palaces of Potsdam Sanssouci and the parks have always been dominated by the erotic stories of Ovid since Frederick the Great. But only when the music is performed without an audience in the empty rooms does it unfold the intimate love language of a bygone era.  The documentary opens a time capsule where the music of the past commes back to life.

The film asks young actors how and by what means they are developing theater productions. The occasion was the annual meeting of seventeen state-run drama schools from the German-speaking world, whose students will be performing in a theater for a week. The students talk about their 'first roles', their plans and goals. They reflect the advantages and limitations of training methods and the difficult dissociation of person and role. In the course of the survey, coupled with the play scenes, it becomes increasingly clear that the drama school itself is an 'island', where for a limited time, as on Shakespeare's island, the whole repertoire of expression and transformation is exhausted.
