Following Klassentreffen ‒ Die 2. Generation and Ferienlager ‒ Die 3. Generation, Lukas Langhoff presents the final part of his trilogy of generations. Pauscjalreise ‒ Die 1. Generation is the story of an encounter between first-generation pioneers, who brought little more than a suitcase full of dreams and ideas to Germany when they arrived 50 years ago, and their grandchildren who have found very individual ways of handling the conflicts and contradictions that shape their lives. The stories of their everyday lives are rooted in a common dream: the desire to finally arrive in a better world.
To leave what one loves for a goal that cannot be attained: The piece invites us to explore the feelings bound up with this situation in a pleasingly complex manner. (Der Tagesspiegel)
