GRIPS Theater stages Kuckucksnest at its Podewil am Alex venue, a chamber play by Nina van Tongeren about mental health and two sisters fighting for each other and their mother.
One moment their mother wants to fly to Mallorca on a whim, the next she is singing on the roof. Nim has had enough and wants to go to the youth welfare office, while Saffa secretly runs the household and will do anything to keep the family together.
With Lara-Sophie Milagro and Viktoria Schreiber, directed by Sabine Trötschel. One hour with no interval, from age 10, recommended for school years 4 to 9. Reduced tickets cost 10 euros.
