what comes, what goes

Description

«When I started my apprenticeship, I landed in a new world. I didn't understand what the people were saying and how they behaved. I felt like a tadpole among fully grown frogs. And I asked myself: Is this really what I want to become – a frog?»
Two teenagers and two adults meet in a broken elevator. What begins as forced small talk soon explodes the cabin: the leap into adulthood, which can feel like free fall, adults who haven't landed yet or want to take off again. For "what comes, what goes," Weltalm Theater interviewed over 60 young people from Bernese middle and vocational schools. What they shared about growing up, failure, and their limits forms the basis for a play that dismantles the myth of the straight path of life with humor and a broken elevator.
