RIVKA - Ein lauter Knall von Judith Herzberg

In the organizer's words:

Two days in the life of a couple.
Erna and Jakob are packing. They don't have much time to decide what to take with them. They don't know where their journey will take them, they only know that it will soon begin. Despite all the uncertainty, one thing is certain: the Jewish couple have entrusted their daughter Rivka to strangers. As they pack, they wonder whether they will be able to hide her and spare her the worst. Will their child survive?

This is a socially and politically highly topical story of displacement and flight, of supposed certainties and securities that collapse. Of fear and loss, but also of hope and of creativity that helps to make the incomprehensible more bearable. Judith Herzberg set the play in 1942, but wants it to be understood as timeless.

Judith Herzberg is considered one of the most important poets and playwrights in the Netherlands. Herzberg's work combines abysses and shallows, relationship comedy and human drama. The Holocaust is the subject of some of her works, for example in the screenplay for the film "Charlotte S." about the life of the Jewish painter Charlotte Salomon, which was awarded the Bavarian Film Prize in 1981.

In 1990, TamS staged a play by her for the first time in Munich with "Und/Oder". Further plays followed. Since then, she has maintained an artistic and friendly relationship with TamS.
