Based on the novel by Saša Stanišić I Adapted for the stage by David Czesienski
“How’s it going?” – “Gotta keep going.” Fürstenfelde, Brandenburg. Population: declining. People say it’ll last a few more generations—but that’s about it. We believe it’ll work out. Somehow, it’s always worked out.
Saša Stanišić tells the story—with humor and a great deal of warmth—of the present and past of a village in the Uckermark. Actually, it’s probably the village that told the story, and he just wrote it down.
But what do we really know? Most of the time, it’s not about what’s true, but what people believe.
