“ABOUT FORGETTING” is dedicated to the human mind and its transience, and to the stories that emerge when memory slowly slips away. At the heart of the story is Klara: the strong, successful power woman in the midst of life. But also the helpless person in need of care who seems cut off from the outside world. On her path into forgetting, Klara keeps encountering herself – until the reflection fades so much that there is no one left for her to meet. This inward gaze is contrasted with an outward gaze: because Klara’s story is also the story of her family and friends.

A theatre evening of laughter and tears that invites you to approach the topic of “dementia” (in a new way) – and about which the audience says:

“Moving, touching and at the same time humorous.”

“A play you can immerse yourself in and forget everything around you.”

“Great theatre with modest means.” (Dr Gunter Lösel, Zurich University of the Arts)

“Dementia brought into view in all its aspects—and into people’s hearts.” (Maria Sommer, psycho-gerontologist)

Made possible as part of the City of Stuttgart’s “Culture in the Afternoon” event series.

Cast: Nicole Erichsen, Stephanie Hunger, Kerstin Manz-Kelm & Steve Jarand. Direction and script: Kerstin Manz-Kelm & Steve Jarand
