Forests in Spring

Description

School orders for this performance can be made via schule@kurtheater.ch or through the school order form. Jen is 17 and possibly pregnant by a guy whose first name she does not know. Between cycle apps, pregnancy tests, conversations with friends, and a mother who is about to "lose it," she tries to figure out how much future fits into a body that is just beginning to grow up.
Her friends Nini and Ka react differently: Nini dreams of godparenthood and marshmallow songs, Ka demands a realistic and clear decision. And then there is Luis, who is in love with Jen and would be willing to raise the child with her – even if he is not the father.
With direct language, dark humor, and poetic fantasy levels, Eva Rottmann's play negotiates the question of motherhood and today's family systems, abortion, and the connection between class affiliation and reproductive rights.
Eva Rottmann has received numerous awards for her texts, including the Swiss Children's and Youth Literature Prize 2025 for her novel "Fucking Fucking Schön."
At Junge Marie, young adults without acting training develop a play under professional direction aimed at a young audience. With their own perspectives on bodies, consent, and the future, a contemporary production emerges that lets different perspectives be heard.
