On 7 September 2017, the Altonaer Theater in Hamburg poses the question at the premiere of "Wann wird es endlich wieder so, wie es nie war?": What is normal? Our actress Uta Krüger on her various roles in this piece:"People who are different fascinate me greatly! What is normal, and where does the boundary run? In 'Wann wird es endlich wieder so, wie es nie war' I get to explore this narrow ridge from today at the Altonaer Theater, directed by Christof Küster. In all, I play 10 different roles, from a vet to a girl who smears blood-stars on the asphalt. Especially dear to my heart are Margret and Marlene. Margret, who as a patient of the psychiatric ward is a frequent guest, full of zest for life and enthusiasm, at the Meyerhoff family home and who speaks oddly and far too loudly, as if each sentence were a single word. In contrast, Marlene, who lives quietly in her own world, full of a longing for death, and who casts a spell over all the sons with her ability to slow down time. In powerful images and a particular aesthetic, this story is told on various levels, and I move through the contrasts — I must be not only versatile but also very quick…"The Altonaer Theater is, for the first time, bringing one of the novels from the cycle Alle Toten fliegen hoch by Joachim Meyerhoff to the stage: https://www.altonaer-theater.de
