In the organizer's words:

A summer between Berlin, Chicago and Jerusalem - based on the novel by Dana Vowinckel - stage version by David Benjamin BrückelPremiere on June 8, 2024 - Schauspielhaus, Kleines Haus -Schauspiel

Vacations at last! Margarita attends the Jewish High School in Berlin-Mitte. Like every year, she spends the summer with her grandparents in Chicago. Her father Avi, cantor of a Berlin synagogue, came to Germany from Israel. It was then that he met Margarita's mother and they both imagined a very different future. But Marsha could no longer stand it in Berlin. And Margarita can hardly remember her. Now she is 15 - and everything is different. Particularly nerve-wracking: everyday life, the food, her grandparents' language. And they have an idea: Margarita should visit Marsha in Jerusalem. She would much rather be back in Germany, with her friends and her father. But Margarita is already on a plane to Israel, falls head over heels in love and meets Marsha, who is so different from Avi. A road trip through Israel begins, which becomes a journey into her own family history.
own family history. A story full of anger and love, happiness and disappointment. And the feeling of always being on the move - a liquefied world in a ziplock bag that encloses an entire life.
