Florentina Holzinger's A Year without Summer plays on the main stage of the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin.
It starts in 1816: the Tambora eruption darkens the skies, harvests fail, and in that cold summer Mary Shelley conceives Frankenstein. From there it turns to today's stories about bodies, health, ageing and identity, the search for immortality and the risks of AI, robotics and bioengineering.
It runs 2 hours 15 minutes with German and English surtitles. Recommended minimum age 18. The theatre warns of blood and bodily fluids, self-harm, explicit depiction of sexual acts and strobe effects.
