In the organizer's words:

"Somewhere in nowhere I live / A home? / A home? / What do you mean by that? / What price do you pay for it?" It is a child who is speaking here. The world in which he lives is alien to him, sometimes he is even alien to himself. He was born in France. He immigrated to Germany in the 1960s. The family survived the Shoah and now the child is supposed to live - but how?
Michel Friedman gives a touching and poetic voice to the humiliated and marginalized. He picks out one person's fate as an example, goes through their biography and creates a text about a world in which being a stranger is part of everyday life and living in it is perceived as dangerous. It is about fear as well as love, about loneliness as well as the hope of overcoming it. It is a plea for difference and against inhumanity. And the child? "The child - it's alive."
Stephan Kimmig will take on Michel Friedman's extraordinary text and bring it to the stage for the first time with a four-person ensemble.
