Best-of: "Man kann auch in die Höhe fallen"

A theatre evening in support of the "Children and Youth Hospice Sternenlichter" association.

Joachim Meyerhoff's bestselling novel returns to the stage: a celebrated actor and author in his mid-fifties loses his footing. After a stroke, a paralyzing creative block, and a move to hectic Berlin, he returns to his 86-year-old mother on the Baltic Sea - to the place of his childhood. While he searches for peace and direction, his mother steadfastly faces wind, weather, and jellyfish, chopping wood, driving a tractor, and swimming in ice-cold water.

Among memories, maternal wit, and provincial theatre, a comic yet touching story emerges about crisis, origins, and the power of storytelling.
