Gesine Danckwart

Summerwine
2 D, 1 H
UA: 01.03.2001 · Forum Freies Theater, Düsseldorf · Directed by: Remsi Al Khalisi
“Gesine Danckwart is a seismograph of her generation. Her fast, floating plays… are collages from media quotes and daily small talk, which densify lyrically again and again, brittle language partitures full of sadness, comedy, insecurity and sometimes surprisingly beautiful.

This also holds true for… Summerwine, a summery longing triangle story, whose tender plot threads intertwine again and again, making present and future into a melange. … Summerwine is a sweet-dry portrait of a generation, with headache and self-distrust, full of longing for the lost ease.”
(Frankfurter Rundschau on the premiere at the Forum Freies Theater Düsseldorf on 1 March 2001)
