Description

The story of a great woman. In the horse-drawn carriage era, she was born into the world, and when her father died, the first person set foot on the moon. She grew up in a world without telephone, radio, and television. And became a woman who was as present in the media worldwide as no other. When she was born, women still had no voting rights, married women were under the guardianship of their husbands, and the social meeting point of her hometown Vimmerby was the cattle market. When she died, the world was different, after two world wars, the sexual revolution, and the invention of the internet. The life of Astrid Lindgren is a projection surface of the 20th century, and her books reflect and accompany it in a fascinating way. However, as the world changed at an unprecedented speed, the protagonists of her books represent the values that hold them together: Pippi Longstocking, Michel from Lönneberga, Mio. Strong children's characters who stand for justice, generosity, and respect. From interviews, quotes, and letters, Martin Mühleis has developed a stage monologue about the life of Astrid Lindgren, the first authorized by Astrid Lindgren's family, stage autobiography. A concentrated, touching, and humorous first-person narrative for an actress and three musicians. In this so humorous yet touching theater evening, Gesine Cukrowski takes on the role of the great Swedish children's book author and tells the story of a small peasant girl who became one of the most influential women of the past century. Emotional acting theater in a mix of acting, reading, and music.
