Die Wut, die bleibt

In the organizer's words:

Premiere: Sat 07.03.2026

Based on the novel by Mareike Fallwickl

A dinner that couldn't be more normal: The day has been long, the apartment is a mess, the children are cranky and loud. A single question brings the life of an entire family to an irrevocable, landslide end. "Don't we have any salt?" asks the father Johannes. Not directed at his wife Helene, but in general. Helene gets up without a word, opens the balcony door and plunges to her death as if it were the most normal thing in the world. The family is shocked and Helene leaves behind a huge void. Helene's best friend tries to help the family and quickly realizes how she is sucked into the maelstrom of role models. A feeling of anger begins to grow inside her. Helene's 15-year-old daughter Lola feels this anger even more strongly. She blames the system for her mother's death and decides to declare war on it.

Mareike Fallwickl was born in Hallein near Salzburg in 1983. She works as a freelance copywriter and editor and has been running a literary blog since 2009. Her first novel "Dunkelgrün fast schwarz" was published in 2018. This was followed in 2019 by "Das Licht ist hier viel heller". Her bestseller "Die Wut, die bleibt" was a great success with the press and the public. The stage version premiered at the Salzburg Festival in summer 2023. Mareike Fallwickl is committed to promoting literature, with a focus on female narrative voices.
