Description
After more than forty-five years of marriage, Erich is left alone in his apartment without Gerda. What does a new beginning look like for someone over eighty? Irina Schönen and Gian Rupf tell stories of Bärbel, Erich's brother Adolf, and long-forgotten talents. And then there's Edith Samira, who prophesies to him: Your time is still to come. Rupf and Schönen regularly perform as Erich and Gerda with great resonance on small stages across Switzerland. They continue to tell stories from Tim Krohn's book series "Human Emotions." Before the theater, there will be a discussion with the actors and the organizer. Actors: Irina Schönen and Gian Rupf. Production: Rupf&Schönen. Moderation: Martina Vogel, comm. versa. Registration: please register online by October 22, 2026. Admission: free, donation. The care hotel is barrier-free. Organizer: Project Association Palliative Care Basel, www.pflegehotel-bs.ch/erich
