Kurtheater Bad Nenndorf

based on the bestselling novel by Caroline Wahl Tilda juggles her math studies, a supermarket job, and the responsibility for her little sister Ida. At home, she struggles with an alcohol-dependent mother and the absence of her two fathers, but the sisters find refuge at the swimming pool: Tilda swims laps, Ida splashes around happily. Then Tilda meets the taciturn Viktor—and receives an enticing offer: a doctoral position in Berlin. Suddenly she is faced with the question of what matters more: her own future or Ida’s safety. Can she have both—or must she choose? Caroline Wahl’s debut novel combines sharp-witted dialogue, warm-hearted stories, and multi-layered characters—a clever, moving story about freedom, love, and growing up.

With the novel Heimsuchung, Jenny Erpenbeck created a multi-layered panorama of German history. The setting is a house on a lake in Brandenburg, where the destinies of several generations intersect between 1906 and 2002. Political upheavals from the Weimar Republic to reunification shape intimate life plans. Erpenbeck combines poetic language with historical depth and offers a moving reflection on questions of home, memory, and transience.

Paul is thoroughly fed up with his relationship. Too cowardly for an honest breakup, he hatches a devious plan: his friend Martin is to move in as a supposed bereavement case and drive Sophie out. But Martin turns out to be a charmer, a hero around the house, and a soulmate. What was meant to be sabotage becomes a surprising ménage à trois that shifts feelings, shatters expectations, and forces all three to rethink love, courage, and responsibility. With wit, warmth, and a touch of malice, the chaos unfolds. Clément Michel, the successful French playwright and screenwriter, tells a fast-paced comedy about modern relationship chaos and the unpredictability of plans that are cleverly intended but thoroughly botched in “Trennung für Feiglinge”.
