Sterben 1, 2, 3: Hopp!

Michaela & Peter

70 minutes
Bar stage

You can’t yell at me like that all the time! – Then put your hearing aid in!

An interactive performance about love for one’s own mother and the fear of loss, decay, and future poverty. An evening between the cross trainer, Albrecht Dürer, and grief – with karaoke, gymnastics, and pop music from the 80s.

Michaela Caspar and Peter Marty know each other from their long-standing collaboration with the theater collective Possible World. The experience they both have in caring for their mothers is intense. Those around them react to the caregiving situation with discomfort, incomprehension, and disapproval. A strange silence descends. In order to open up perspectives on home care, to change them, and to create a place for exchange, Michaela and Peter bring »Sterben 1,2,3: Hopp!« to the stage. www.possibleworld.eu
