Akcent Festival and Pražský divadelní festival německého jazyka
"I never asked WHY this happened to me. Why did I fly 20 years ago with my parents from Stuttgart to Crete to celebrate my graduation? Why in that empty resort did I jump head first into the shallow end of the pool? It was the last action that my body was able to make," says the protagonist. In her fascinating and captivating story, Maria-Cristina Hallwachs shows us that life is a miracle and a blessing. With her subtly ironic and playful production with artists of Rimini Protokoll she succeeds in banishing tough themes of sorrow and in emphasizing the depth of thought and the ease with which she is able to say yes to life. Performed by: Maria-Cristina Hallwachs
Please note that the performance may have to be cancelled due to Ms. Hallwach's health. Should this be the case, you may either watch a recorded version of the performance or refund your ticket.
