The Caucasian Chalk Circle > radio play

By Helgard Haug

Two mothers offer themselves, vie for a relationship, a title, a task, a value – which one should the child choose? And who else is offered for selection? The performers of Theater HORA are cognitively impaired and bring their own rules with them. New ones have to be invented together. And the question arises: can the "old saga" be told by performers who will probably never have a child and are dependent on the care of others?
 
The radio play is being produced parallel to the production and the premiere at the Salzburg Festival.
