Schilf is a novel by Juli Zeh about the lives of old study friends and physicists, Oskar and Sebastian. As an abstract discussion around their concepts of understanding physics gets out of hand, they are confronted with reality.
Time and truth melt around parallel universe theories and suddenly there is a crime that cannot be made undone, a disaster around kidnapping, murder, and destroyed relationships.
I was the Dramaturg on this show, supporting the director in research, working on the text and concept of the production. This included writing articles for the programme, liaising with the Marketing Team, leading Q&As as well as creating workshops for young people and aspiring actors.
