Utherow oder Glaub’ nicht alles, was du denkst
Debut play by Anne Lemke from Greifswald
Memories are indispensable to us. We hold them to be immutable truths, they make us who we are, shape our identity - but they are deceptive. They change,
are reshaped every time we remember them. What does it mean for us when our image of our own past begins to waver?
In the three-character play Utherow oder Glaub' nicht alles, was du denkst, the sisters Lola and Josepha meet after a long time in the house they inherited from their parents. What begins as a
reunion quickly develops into a struggle over their own and their family's history: old conflicts flare up again, different versions of memories
clash - and then Olivia, a former school friend of Josepha's, suddenly turns up. With an agenda all of her own. On this journey into the past, everyone has to face the
question: How sure can we be that what we remember is really true?
Utherow is the debut play by the young East German author Anne Lemke, which was developed in collaboration with Shakespeare2Go. The actors are Rahel Schöppenthau, Lisa-Marie Pfadt and
Ceylan Schumacher, dramaturgy and direction by Andreas Neu.
