Das letzte Feuer

In the organizer's words:

SCHAUSPIEL

Small House

by Dea Loher
Director: Alize Zandwijk

The lives of the eight characters in Dea Loher's play come together in a single fateful moment: a child dies in a tragic accident. In this "forgotten" district, as it is called in the play, the residents know each other, they know about their illnesses, their relationships, their failures, and now something comes along that from now on will haunt them all - in different ways: The question of guilt - and the question of how things can go on from here. Their lives were not easy even before the accident, but the death of their child brings with it a new dimension of searching for meaning. And yet there is always a glimmer of hope that things might get better at some point. Alize Zandwijk has already staged numerous plays by Dea Loher. Now she is devoting herself to a text by the playwright, for which she received the Mülheim Drama Prize in 2008 as well as the "Play of the Year" award from the trade journal Theater heute.
