Heimsuchung

A theatrical adaptation of Jenny Erpenbeck's novel - a contemporary work required for the North Rhine-Westphalian Abitur in 2027.

With this novel, Jenny Erpenbeck achieved international recognition. The partly autobiographical stories unfold across generations in a house on a lake in Brandenburg, spanning from 1906 to 2002. From the Weimar Republic through Nazism and the building of East Germany to reunification, Erpenbeck interweaves the fates of individual people who, in their respective eras, seek a home on this piece of land.

Each narrative follows a single destiny, each person with their own perspective on the world - shaped and marked by the social constraints of their time.
