A stage adaptation of the novel Heimsuchung by Jenny Erpenbeck (© 2007 Albrecht Knaus Verlag, Verlagsgruppe Random House GmbH, Munich, all rights reserved).

A house by a lake on the outskirts of Berlin becomes the setting for a hundred years of German history. Its inhabitants live through the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the war, the GDR, reunification, and the years that followed - carrying all their dreams, longings, fears, and hopes.

Jenny Erpenbeck gives each individual fate its own literary form, letting every story unfold its drama, its tragedy, and its particular path through life. A panorama of the last century, told by Nobel Prize contender Jenny Erpenbeck.
