Frau Yamamoto ist noch da – Premiere

In the organizer's words:

SCHAUSPIEL

Theater am Goetheplatz

by Dea Loher
Director: Alize Zandwijk

People cross paths. Their encounters are coincidental and yet meaningful. They sit on the riverbank and wait, eat together in a restaurant, dance, meet on the landing, in the clinic, in the swimming pool or in the cemetery. Delicate fragmentary scenes, small dramas and humorously abysmal snapshots unfold between them. At the center are two men, a couple, and their young niece, who sees more than she can say. And then there is Mrs. Yamamoto, the old neighbor, whose presence runs through her everyday life like a silent reminder. In her new play, Dea Loher tells of life and of life not lived, of the longing for closeness and the simultaneous fear of it, but also of hesitation and missing out in the face of finiteness.
