The Return

Felix Landerer

Family, for everyone it will evoke a different feeling. Some may have a warm feeling, others a cold, rather distant one and many may feel both simultaneously. Few relationships are as formative and sensitive as those within the family. The people who are closest to us can most easily protect us and also hurt us.

Family: a community of destiny which we cannot choose and yet it defines us to our very core. Families create rituals, customs and patterns. If you want to understand yourself, you cannot avoid understanding your own family. It is the origin of one’s own identity and an ideal breeding ground for insights, conflicts and generational lies.

What is it like, when the family meets together after a long time? What memories arise? How are the roles distributed and enacted? And does this coming together perhaps also offer the chance to break habits?

Felix Landerer and the newly founded ensemble Of Curious Nature, engage with these themes in The Return. The work deals with the construction of family and looks behind the facade. Absurd, tragic, comical.
