The director and head of "Resi für alle", Daniela Kranz, has brought the world of young people's experiences to the stage with great empathy in recent seasons with her works such as "Ist mein Mikro an?" and "Tick Tack". She is now staging the German-language premiere of "Daddy" with ensemble actors and young amateur actors in collaboration with "Resi Digital".
The new text by young, award-winning French playwright Marion Siéfert and her co-author Matthieu Bareyre tells the story of thirteen-year-old Mara, who lives with her parents in the countryside. Her family struggles with money worries and suffers from her parents' marital problems - so escaping from the real world into limitless digital worlds seems like a way out. Mara has long dreamed of living the life of the stars and influencers she admires on social media. In the gamified parallel world, she meets dozens of players who increasingly cast a spell over her. Among them is twenty-seven-year-old Julien, who invites her to try out the newly released game "Daddy": "So focus: 'Daddy' is your project now. This project is what makes you breathe, what gets you out of bed in the morning." And Mara gets in ...
In her artistic work, Marion Siéfert searches for theater in the depths of our increasingly digitalized reality. She uses the stage and its long tradition of playing with identity to create a world in which reality and fiction blur into one another, but at the same time brutally collide.
