Alma doesn't know how it all began. The disintegration of her family. Just a moment ago, they were just little children, happily skipping along to elementary school. But at some point, everything began to change. Like billiard balls in an overly large, constantly expanding spiral galaxy, they lost themselves in infinite space and couldn't reach each other again. The algorithms had imperceptibly taken hold of them, and they lost themselves. How their house caught fire? She doesn't know exactly. It was a very hot summer when she and her twin sister Seraphin turned 18...
"Anybody Home" paints a haunting portrait of a family drifting apart in the maelstrom of the present. Stanislava Jevi and Klaus Schumacher create characters who, on behalf of the audience, experience the contradictions and tensions of a society overwhelmed by social media and the internet. Despite all their overwhelming demands, the family members struggle for one another, for their connection, and for a way to counter the apparent meaninglessness of a tumbling world.
For this world premiere, Katrin Plötzky creates a stage that symbolizes the fragile home: a rotating, two-story, half-burned house, which, under the dynamic direction of Klaus Schumacher and accompanied by live musician Jan S. Beyer, becomes a painful yet utopian setting for our present.
