Brüste und Eier

2022 - 2024

“Breasts and Eggs” is the second part of Christopher Rüping’s family trilogy. The first part, “Simply the End of the World” by Jean-Luc Lagarce premiered at the Zurich Schauspielhaus in 2020. With different materials and without any claim to completeness, Rüping and his ensemble use their three independent pieces to scrutinise the construct of family in the 21st century. If “Simply the End of the World” is about the return of a lost son and the desperate attempt to escape his background, so “Breasts and Eggs” directly addresses the question of motherhood and the rejection of the conventional family image of previous decades.
