From the New Year, Torvald Helmer will be a bank director: The long-awaited promotion promises a substantial pay rise and optimum social standing. Good times for Helmer's three children and his wife Nora, his "squirrel", his "little lark" - who, however, is guarding a highly explosive secret. First performed in 1879, great success. Emancipation. Question mark.
Based on an idea from the Münchner Kammerspiele, the authors Sivan Ben Yishai, Gerhild Steinbuch and Ivna Žic have each in their own way rewritten the story from new perspectives. The bourgeois theatrical thriller is juxtaposed with an examination of Nora's privileged situation, the perspectives of her adult children and the feminist view of the original supporting character Kristine Linde: "Imagine that and forget all the sentences you've heard from others."
