Die Frau vom Meer - oder finden sich Rudimente einer Ur-Fischart im menschlichen Gemüt?

In the organizer's words:

after Henrik Ibsen / Director: Barbara Bürk

A small tourist harbor in the middle of nowhere. The open ocean is not visible, just a meandering fjord. Wasteland. You could be on another planet. "The water is never fresh here. Lukewarm and dead," says Ellida, the woman from the sea. Everyone here somehow has a chip on their shoulder: naive Lyngstrand, a budding artist. Ballested - dance teacher, hairdresser, chief conductor. Arnholm, the ageing head teacher on the loose. And finally Wangel, Ellida's husband, the district doctor. A curious bunch of philistines, some of them at least likeable. Ellida longs for the freedom of the sea from which she comes. But she is also afraid. Because one of them has remained in the sea. And he will come to get her. Barbara Bürk takes a humorous look at Ibsen's drama, finding the bizarre in it and playing with elements of fantastic literature, monsters and science fiction films. The focus is on the ambivalent question of freedom and the fear of it.
