“Cape Horn is dangerous. You can lose your life trying to sail around it. Or you can always dream of trying it without living.”

A middle-aged man returns to the remote paradise of his youth – to the seaside beach where he remembers spending the best days of his life. Here he was himself, a free man. From here, he could have taken over the world. Today he hopes this place will return the primal force of innocence to him, the certainty and calm he has been missing for years. Here, he can be “who he is”. At least that’s how he explains his interest in her run-down beach house to the standoffish old lady from a good family. The lonely woman, who has nothing to expect from life anymore, lowers herself and shows sudden interest in the stranger. The unlikely couple seem destined to solve each other’s problems. But hiding behind the budding relationship is not only the idea of an improbable love, but also a deadly disaster made from deception and self-deceit. (Announcement Theater in der Josefstadt)

"Kap Hoorn is a story about the longing for fulfilment, freedom, the right to one’s own life and everything that should be included in that right.” (Igor Bauersima)
