99 steps to the sea
A family in (climate) change
About the play
The family legacy: a hotel by the sea - built by the father, for whom the landscape was above all an entrepreneurial challenge, and the mother, who died far too young. The daughter who inherits it actually wanted to become a marine biologist. With her husband's money, which he earned from mining brown coal (!), she converted it into a climate-neutral guesthouse with an organic restaurant. But can the hotel survive? She can't count on her brother, a do-gooder idealist. His life project is a climate lawsuit before the EU Court of Justice. Nor can she count on her daughter, who has a career in China and thinks and acts in a radically global way. But perhaps on a mysterious fellow campaigner who seems to come directly from the sea... From the sea that is constantly rising and getting ever closer.
"Snowstorms, floods, droughts. Not only the weather, but the entire climate seems to be in disarray," begins a report on German First Television about the first World Climate Conference in Geneva in 1979, at which the consequences of rising CO2 emissions are already being projected in great detail. For decades, researchers have been warning us about the consequences of climate change, the calculations on global warming are on the table and the concepts to stop it are obvious. We know a lot, but we are only doing a fraction of what needs to be done. Politically and privately, on our doorstep and globally.
