Annina Machaz and Mira Kandathil bring Henrik Ibsen's best-known female character into the present and place her in the Senior*innenheim. As in the doll's house, where the original character is trapped in the institution of marriage, there is no lack of rigid structures and paternalism in the senior citizens' home. But the motto "nothing to lose - nothing to expect" also opens up a space of possibility: Here, freed from norms and obligations, can people finally live out what they have always wanted? Between the smell of cake and the fridge, cosy open fires and icy snow flurries, the audience is confronted with a variety of fantasies about a future that is possible for everyone: the old people's home. The Noras don't bury their heads in the sand, but they do bury them in the fridge.
