What experiences of my parents and grandparents do I carry around with me? — A highly musical evening where everyone gets their spirits dancing.
A theatre company is rehearsing a play – a farce. It is supposed to be funny and playful and simply brilliant: a door opens, a door closes, a lover, a husband, and so on. But the rehearsals suddenly become uncomfortable. For reasons unknown, the female lead has lost her sense of comedy. The director goes berserk, a bad mood settles like mildew over the entire crew. And suddenly, strange things happen that indicate a carefully suppressed history. Polish director Anna Smolar, known for devising plays with choreographed and musical elements, sets off in search of our repressed experiences and traumas, both individual and collective. What do the ghosts of the past demand, especially the more – and the more expertly – we keep them hidden?

„Aus Tanz, Text und Gesang erwächst allmählich ein Sog des Irrealen, der bedrohlich und faszinierend zugleich wirkt.“
