‘Vrenelis Gärtli’, based on the novel of the same name by Tim Krohn

A sensory theatre experience and a fantastical, mythical tale that explores the themes of security and home in an anonymous, digital world.

At the heart of this theatrical adaptation of the novel *Vrenelis Gärtli* by Swiss author Tim Krohn are two unusual characters: Vreneli and Bersiäneli. They navigate the maze of life – feeling their way, stumbling, searching. For Vreneli, the journey also becomes a journey of self-discovery: Who am I? Where do I belong? The search for identity becomes a search for a sense of home – not just as a place, but as a feeling of belonging. Vreneli and Bersiäneli tell stories, doubt, laugh, come up against limits – and in doing so create a world that feels both strange and familiar.

And – perhaps that is precisely where the theatre becomes a home: in listening together, in marvelling, in passing on stories.
