Play: Ms. Yamamoto Is Still Here
"Ms. Yamamoto Is Still Here" by Dea Loher
Dea Loher’s latest play depicts the residents of an apartment building, their relationships, their isolation, and their loneliness—but also their wishes, their longings, and their hopes. At the center of the story are two men, Erik and Nino—who are a couple—their young niece, and the elderly Ms. Yamamoto, who always keeps her front door ajar, letting in the “breath of the world”…
Dea Loher, the daughter of a forester, was born in Traunstein in Upper Bavaria. She studied German language and literature and philosophy at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. Beginning in 1990, she enrolled in the “Dramatic Writing” program taught by Heiner Müller at the Berlin University of the Arts. Dea Loher is one of the most important contemporary playwrights and is internationally renowned for her insightful perspective on the fragile social structures of our time. She lives in Berlin.
The greenhouse of the Ritter nursery in Naters provides an ideal setting for the fragility conveyed in the play. Metaphorically, the greenhouse represents growth, change and the fragility of life. These themes are beautifully reflected in the play.
