At the heart of the story is Gilgi, a headstrong young woman who wants to make the most of life. With confident wit, sharp insight and a big heart, she faces everyone and everything that stands in her way.
Katharina Thalbach slips into various roles, switches between voices and allows the protagonist to find her very own path to independence amidst social paternalism and economic and emotional dependencies.
It is the story of one of those self-assured women who were the reason Keun’s books were banned by the Nazis in 1933.
Katharina Thalbach is a distinctive figure on German stages and screens. Her repertoire ranges from Mother Courage to the Captain of Köpenick and Hercule Poirot. As a protégée of Helene Weigel, she has a long-standing association with the Berliner Ensemble.
