Sonnenstrahl im Kopfsalat

In the organizer's words:

This story takes place in someone's head! In Sarah's grandpa's head, to be precise, where things have gotten mixed up and more and more is being lost. Two hard-working amino acids called Argi and Tyra do their best to stop the loss of memories. But they can't prevent David from looking less and less like himself.

First he forgets what numbers and arithmetic were called (math!), then he forgets his first kiss and whether he got dressed (he didn't!) and finally he doesn't recognize his granddaughter Sarah. Fortunately, he doesn't lose his sense of humor. At least not until he can share with Sarah how important laughter is, especially in difficult times.

Holger Schober's sensitive play about dementia tells the story of what such an illness can mean for those affected and their relatives. In many small scenes, it provides insights into a long human life and asks what defines us and our relationships. In her first work as a director, Nora Klaus, together with Argi, Tyra and the young audience, sometimes playfully, sometimes sadly, always sincerely and at the very end a little bit cheesy, explores a difficult topic that moves people of all generations.
