It’s not the earth’s fault.

Biologist Fritzi has inherited a farm and is researching the food of the future. Her start-up designs genetically modified grain. But the land challenges her. The farm seems to be occupied by her neighbor Johanna and figures emerge from her head claiming to be the universe, the soil or Uncle Georg.

The same Ulrike does not want to take over the farm in 1973, nor does her brother. Her parents had invested, bought machines, modernized. But now there is an oil crisis and everything they had learned to do and plan is shaky. Father Hermann slaughters the last sow, and Ulrike is haunted by an even deeper buried past: The largest volcanic eruption in our records, Tambora in Indonesia, blows a gigantic cloud of ash across the globe in 1815, blocking out the sun. The two missing summers cause one of the greatest famines in Europe in the 19th century and where the new stable is now to be built, there was the wooden hut of their ancestors…

Director Christoph Frick and author Lothar Kittstein have already worked intensively on the climate crisis and scenarios for sustainable coexistence in artistic and activist terms. In combination with choreography and video, the result is a haunting and visually powerful piece about our dependence on nature.

André Benndorff is dressed in dark clothes and wears a long coat. He is sitting on a tube on the dark stage, with many small points of light projected around him that look like stars.

Elias Krischke lies trapped under a thick metal pipe. Martin Weigel stands next to him with one leg leaning on the metal pipe.

An image of Martin Weigel's face is projected several times onto two large white silos and the white wall of the Therese-Giehse-Halle. His mouth is wide open and his eyes are squeezed shut.

Photo: Maurice Korbel

Marie Bonnet, Martin Weigel and Traute Hoess are on the foggy stage wearing clothes that were common for farmers in the 1970s. Elias Krischke stands next to them, leaning against a silo, wearing normal everyday clothes, also in the style of the 1970s.

Maren Solty stands on the dark stage. A tall silo stands in the background.

Marie Bonnet kneels in a large hose and plants a seedling in soil. She is wearing a white coat, blue gloves and a protective cap over her hair.
