Shapes wander across the stage, their paths cross and they are lost. They are all restless, without roots. They might live in a strange city. They might live on the other side of the moon. These are motives taken from the works of Hilde Domin.

Forced to live in exile by the Nazis, she found her home in words. Her poetry reflects on resistance by finding the courage to renew things that were lost. After 22 years in exile, Hilde Domin returns to Heidelberg in 1954, where she would become one of the most important poets of the post-war period.

Based on the art of her words, director Marcel Kohler develops a string of scenic miniatures, a panorama of leaving and staying, the poetry in everything and a life »among acrobats and birds«. An evening between theatre, concert, live painting and circus. An evening that will get »under the skin of your heart«.
