Ten-year-old Ida and her friend Robert Falcon Scott share above all one passion: Polar research. All day long, they seem to prepare for future research expeditions. But before they can delve into the mysteries of the icy caps on the other side of the earth, they need to take care of other things: Ida’s school urgently wants to talk to her mother for some reason. They need to stop that, because even though Ida’s mother sits on the sofa all day long, she is not really there. Ida knows that side of her mum and knows how to handle it, but she needs to protect her as best she can from the outside world. 

Armela Madreiter is a writer and dramaturge. Her play »south pole. windless« received a special price for students of scenic writing by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. With sensitivity and poetic power, she tells the story of Ida who lives in precarious circumstances and with a mentally ill mother.

This production is accompanied by a programme from the Arts & Education team.
