»Ich will keine Blaubeertorte, ich will nur raus«

Ilse remained silent about her mother Marie until the end. Only after Ilse's death does her daughter Gabí find letters from her grandmother, who warns ever more urgently of the catastrophe from Berlin and sees her only salvation in her daughter Ilse in Basel.

When Ilse finally decides to save her mother from the Nazis, it is too late and Marie's escape to Switzerland fails as she tries to cross the border at Hohenems. Yael Schüler plays this Gabí, who immerses herself in the life of her mother and grandmother in order to finally be able to lead her own life beyond the inherited conflicts and traumas. The play is an attempt at emancipation from speechlessness after a horror that cannot be described and an appeal to the dead of ancient force.
