CANCELLED It’s Going to Get Dark (Es wird dunkel werden)

Samara Hersch

Unfortunately, due to illness, the performances of "It's Going To Get Dark" by Samara Hersch must be cancelled without replacement.

Tickets already purchased can be returned via ticket@buehnen-frankfurt.de or at the box office.

The events were originally scheduled to take place 01.07., 15.00, 02.07., 16.00 and 03.07., 19.30 at Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm.

Whether it is night obscuring day, or the unease associated with what we cannot see or foresee – many people are afraid of the dark. ‘It’s Going to Get Dark’ is the title of the latest theater work by Samara Hersch, in which a remarkable cast of young people and seniors meet to listen to each other in the dark and begin an unexpected conversation. The performance seeks out connections and tensions between the generations, as they reflect on how life and identities are shaped by time. Can darkness be a space that strengthens curiosity, intimacy, resilience, and solidarity?
