ERDE LIEBE CHAOS (Earth Love Chaos)

2021

Steffi is a forestry worker and single mother. Caught up in her daily business with little room for change, she starts questioning her life. Even the forest, which has always been her source of strength, no longer helps. Her colleague and friend Linda, meanwhile, spends nights in the forest. Can Linda’s newfound zest for life help Steffi and does it exist after all, the contentment in a small life?
A play that in a subtle and very touching way, draws the portrait of a woman on the verge of despairation and her cautious steps into a new self-understanding.

DER ALLERLETZTE ALLTAG (The Very Last Everyday)
