In the organizer's words:
Three women from the same village in the Carpathians, three generations, meet in Thomas Perle's play, which was awarded the Retzhof Drama Prize in 2019: daughter, mother and grandmother. In different languages and dialects, the text tells of their German-Austrian-Hungarian-Romanian biographies and destinies, embedded in the political shifts and histories of violence over the centuries. With his tersely precise dialogues, Perle unfolds a grand historical arc, from the "Teitschen" immigration to the region during the 18th century to National Socialism, the fall of Ceaușescu, and the longing for a different life in the West. And the mountain and the forest also have their say.
