Miss Mertens refuses to grow bigger!

IAPAR International Theatre Festival is an effort to offer a platform for strong cultural exchange in the global context.

Goethe-Institut has been supporting the festival over the last few years by identifying and inviting German theater performances and artists who also take part in the exchange and offer theater workshops. 

This year, we have invited tthe piece ‘Miss Mertens Refuses To Grow Bigger’. It deals with the awareness to recourses and nature, as well as the responsibility of each individual person for our future on this common planet. The performer’s inner motor for fighting for the fragility of our current environment, drives her through different roles and attitudes, finding positions in society to question and investigate it.

Fräulein Mertens, as a fictive "human being of many possibilities,” seeks to find her very own trails and answers to the existing norms and social conventions; a lonely single person who tries to take the world and what is happening around her seriously even before the inevitable emergency comes about; who rubs against the existing foundation of reality and fails because of her own inner resistances.
