With a striking stage adaptation, the Landestheater Detmold brings a story that is as moving as it is complex to the stage. Tilda tries to juggle her daily life between studying math, working at a supermarket, and caring for her little sister Ida. In a life full of uncertainty, marked by an alcoholic mother and absent fathers, she struggles to create a sense of security for Ida. Their only refuge is the swimming pool, where the two can briefly escape their daily routine. But Tilda’s life is thrown into turmoil when she meets the reserved Viktor and, at the same time, a great opportunity presents itself: a doctoral position in Berlin. The choice between personal freedom and family responsibility puts her to the test. The stage adaptation is based on the acclaimed debut novel by Caroline Wahl, who tells a story of new beginnings, love, and coming of age with a keen sensibility, an ironic tone, and great warmth. A theatrical evening that touches the heart and lingers long after the curtain falls.
