Blickfelder Festival: Rita
A dancetheater about aging - for all generations
Rita is a drama queen. She loves the opera. She escapes there to avoid thinking about her everyday life and the fact that she is getting older and more forgetful. Little by little, her mind seems to be a labyrinth in which the line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly blurred. At Rita's side lives her caretaker. While Rita becomes more and more content in her new world, he tries - sometimes lovingly, sometimes desperately - to keep up Rita's daily routine.
One moment hilarious, then suddenly tender and whimsical, the great performers show how to make something extraordinary out of the mundane. A play about aging and how encounters at eye level can be preserved.

Following the public performance on 18 June, Guillaume Guilherme, dance facilitator at the Tanzhaus Zürich, will enter into an exchange with the young and the old audience, as well as two invited senior:in. What do children and old people have in common? How do people look at each other at the beginning of life and closer to death? Are people over 65 more nostalgic or more curious? Maybe the seniors, like Rita, will surprise us!
