The Pond (Robert Walser)

The teenager Fritz suffers from his family’s reserved distance. To test their affection, he fakes his own suicide.

The play explores the depths of core human relationships and their power structures. It examines how language and expression do not always do justice to emotions. How can closeness still be found in communication in a distant world?

Thisshort play by Robert Walseris one of his early works and is the author’s only play written in dialect.

“As if Shakespeare, Mark Twain, and Astrid Lindgren had all pulled on the same rope.”
