Heimsuchung – Nach dem Roman von Jenny Erpenbeck

In the organizer's words:

A plot of land on a Brandenburg lake. The scene of the most diverse fates. Almost a century of German history, from the Weimar Republic to the post-reunification period, comes to life - because this place sees people come and go. Plans, dreams, failures, escapes, new beginnings.
The people who live there leave their mark and are shaped, driven and displaced by this patch of earth. The soil, the plant world and a seemingly ageless gardener are the constants in this story.
An evening of theater about the search for an outer and inner home, and about hauntings from which one cannot escape.

Author Jenny Erpenbeck has been awarded the Thomas Mann Prize, the Hans Fallada Prize and the International Booker Prize, among others.

"'Home' is something you probably only realize when you've lost it." - Jenny Erpenbeck

"Each of these very different people speaks with their own voice and tells their part of the story, with their own biography, their plans and attachments, their pleasures at the lake, their respective world views and blindness - and their longing for a place where they belong." - Die ZEIT
