Premiere

„If you have a good idea in IT, a really good one, and money will chase you!
- And now look around you, you live like in a lifestyle magazine, but your ideals...”

Golda Barton slims down Maxim Gorky's socially critical work Summer Guests about social advancement, classism, lifestyles and discarded ideals and, in her modern rewrite, transports the protagonists to a summer retreat in the Berlin countryside. But how safe is this countryside for not white-passing women today? Why is the income gap between Leeta, Cathrin, Mardja, Julia and their husbands so wide? Is it just coincidence or is it because they themselves are the first in their families to go to university, while their husbands are white West German heirs? And why do Wolle and Kelly, with their unconventional lifestyle, seem so much happier than the academic women among them?

With biting wit and fast-paced dialogue, Barton takes the century-old play to the height of current discourse. Director Isabelle Redfern and choreographer Ute Pliestermann, together with live music by Anton Berman, lend the play and entertaining dance-performative touch.
