Description
We all age, some still have decades until their first gray hair, while others already have deep wrinkles around their eyes, and everyday life loses its lightness due to hip pain, knee pain, and much more. Dotti (Elvira H. Plüss) and Marlen (played by Ruth Oswalt, founder of the Vorstadttheater Basel) are over 70 years old and discuss their own aging on stage, sometimes poetically, sometimes brutally, and mostly humorously. What was good in life? What was missing and still is? Is it too late to have a new experience, or can one simply be content and stroll through life? Many questions are raised, and wonderful answers are given, which unfold powerfully in the striking dialogues and the bubbling play between the two different women. © Theater Lilith Participants and additional information:
