THOMAS MELLE – IN AN ORIGINAL STAGE VERSION BY CHRISTIN IHLE
Die Welt im Rücken
Novel adaptation
When the world is caught between extremes, when one’s bursting with emotions, nearly coming to a halt, reality is forced to disin- tegrate. Still memory remains. Thomas Melle’s autobiographical novel details the world of a person with bipolar disorder. It is a radical self portrait, aimed at creating order in between states and experiences, it becomes an avenue for hope. Increasingly, how- ever, descriptions fail, moments passed seem to evade charac- terisation. Who gets to decide between “functional” and “unfit for society”? One person, three actors, an attempt, and a world that is both behind us and within. For lovers of great literature and gentle poetic language.
