Tick Tack

Brimming with neologisms and the sound of Denglish, in her new novel «Tick Tack» Julia von Lucadou takes a deep dive into the world of Generation Z. 15-year-old Mette announces her intention of throwing herself on the U-Bahn line in TikTok videos. No one reacts, but she is saved anyway. Her suicide attempt bewilders those who share her privileged environment: until now she had performed her role as a highly gifted child, but this hypocritical world frustrates her. Then she meets Jo, who is ten years older, brilliant and full of rage. He has already established a following as an anti-influencer and recruits Mette for the fight against the mainstream. A game begins whose rules she can only see through once it is too late. Also engaged in joint action are the young people from Munich, who act out this live commentary on our current lives in Daniela Kranz’s production. This adaptation for «Resi für alle» in the Marstall is the novel’s world premiere.
