In the organizer's words:

Ten-year-old Ida has only one goal: she wants to become a polar explorer. With her imaginary best friend, polar expert Robert Falcon Scott, she keeps meticulous records of her everyday life and trains to find her way in extreme habitats. And Ida knows her way around them. When she comes home, she doesn't know what condition she will find her mother in. A crack runs through Ida's mother, dividing her into a South Pole half and a North Pole half and thus structuring her days. Ida can therefore already do quite a lot without adults - operate the washing machine or make food, for example. And she has learned to protect herself and her home from the outside world. But one day her teacher wants to talk to her mother - Ida has to stop her! But when a nosy neighbor's child sits in the stairwell and can't really be dissuaded, Ida's carefully constructed protective wall begins to totter.
With sensitivity and subtle humor, Armela Madreiter tells the story of a girl who confronts her mother's mental illness with a great spirit of invention and research. The play was awarded the special prize of the German Children's and Youth Theater Prize in 2022.
