MAMA DAKTARI More Than Three Lives

Description

Why do we believe some stories and prefer not to believe others? At the center of the story is Swiss woman Anne Marie Spoerry, also known as "Mama Daktari" – Mama Doctor: doctor and pilot. Revered as a hero in Kenya, accused of war crimes after World War II. In between lies a great silence.
Three performers attempt to tell this life on stage. Questions about power, questions about guilt try to explore a multi-faceted woman. But the more closely you look, the more fragile the story becomes. Memories contradict each other, gaps remain open, truths tilt. It is told, doubted, twisted, argued.
No clean biography emerges, but an exciting evening about projections, female ambition, responsibility, and power. The piece does not judge; it shows how stories are made – and leaves the decision to the audience: Whose story do we want to believe? A production by Die Wucht.
