Alice doesn't want to solve boring maths problems, she would much rather follow the nervous rabbit down his hole. She falls endlessly and ends up in Wonderland, where strange rules apply and a heartless queen rules. Here there are grinning cats, smoking caterpillars, mad hatters and much more. Nothing is as it seems, and Alice herself grows and shrinks until she no longer knows who she actually is. But Alice is not afraid, because maybe it's all just a dream, and what is normal? With a young ensemble, the famous classic becomes a turbulent search for identity and meaning in a contradictory world.

(Alice) im Wunderland

Theater Basel

“I freed myself from your father and thought everything would be better now.” After “A Woman’s Freedom,” Édouard Louis returns to his mother’s story. To a woman who has already freed herself once. From alcohol, violence, and shame, from silence. And whose story threatens to repeat itself when she calls her son one night while her new partner rudely berates her in the background. Step by step, the son plans her escape with her, a new beginning succeeds, but how does life go on when you have never learned freedom? The Nestroy Theatre Prize-winning director Sara Ostertag stages – for the first time at the Hessian State Theatre Wiesbaden – the continuation of Monique Bellegueule’s story.
