Theatre

A play about poverty and wealth

For Adelina, born in Zurich, the daughter of Italian immigrants, there is no place in Switzerland. Inherited debts force her to abandon her apprenticeship. She falls further and further into a downward spiral. The single mother looks for the reason for her misfortune only in herself and never in social conditions - until she meets the Red Brigades. Lukas Bärfuss adapts his new novel for the Basler Compagnie and expands the story to include characters from a planned trilogy that leads to the present day. Antú Romero Nunes stages the story about the vicious circle of poverty with a large cast and paints a social picture of Switzerland from the 1970s to the present day.
