The world premiere theatrical adaptation of Miranda July's acclaimed novel
Direction: Sabine Auf der Heyde and Holle Münster
Performance: Meike Droste and Fritzi Haberlandt
Composition and Live Music: Sarah Taylor Ellis
Miranda July’s bestselling novel All Fours centers on an extraordinary woman who, midway through her life, casts aside every convention. She abandons her familiar surroundings, checks into a roadside motel, and embarks on a radical experiment in self-discovery. What follows are three weeks filled with ecstasy, control, desire, emptiness – and an unexpected transformation. At the heart of her journey lies a stark question: What does it mean to live in a society that so often renders menopausal women invisible?
For this world premiere, directors Sabine Auf der Heyde and Holle Münster collaborate with acclaimed actors Meike Droste and Fritzi Haberlandt to create an immersive space where fiction and reality dissolve into one another. With unflinching intensity, they explore what it means to break free of social expectations, to redefine female desire, and to reclaim one’s identity.

Co-production with the Théatres de la Ville de Luxembourg and Theater im Pumpenhaus Münster
