One life, half a life. A person stands in the middle of their life and looks both forwards and backwards. Which parameters were predestined from birth for the last forty years? Which decisions were really in your own hands?

What is determined by biology, what by society, what by individual character? And above all: what is all determined by one's own gender, in this case, the female gender?

The focus is on a person in a Western affluent society in the year 2026 in a classic midlife crisis; this person is a woman, a fairly "conventional" woman: so far. She now takes the space to think out loud about herself, which is something unusual for her.

She enters into a dialog with herself about the typical pillars of midlife: Professional self-realization, couple relationship, family. Some of this can be generalized, others relate to her personal life story.

The text is divided between three actors, one of whom is a man. However, all three of these characters are parts of the personality of the ONE character, who enters into a dialog with herself.

The three acts are each interrupted by a composition including a dance piece by the actors;
