Ewig Sommer (UA)

In the organizer's words:

Dance and drama based on the novel by Franziska Gänsler

A young hotel owner holds out in a former health resort. She hasn't had any guests there for a long time, because the fires rage in the forest next door, each summer more fierce and longer than the year before.

Unexpectedly, a young woman and her daughter turn up in the deserted village. For the owner of the hotel, the visit is both a welcome change and a cause for concern: something seems to be wrong with the strangers. Why are they fleeing to a place like this? Can the secretive woman with her mute daughter be trusted? Aren't the heat and isolation too dangerous for the child?

As the forest burns and protests take place in the nearby climate camp, the two women grow closer. Until a strange caller asks about the visitor and questions the honesty of their relationship. Franziska Gänsler's atmospheric novel becomes the basis for an evening that combines music, drama and dance to tell a story about pressing issues of our time.
