theater arsenaal - Tiramisu

The relationship between two sisters changes abruptly when the eldest announces with great flair that she no longer wants to live. She doesn't know exactly what that 'not living' should look like, because she finds dying terrifying. Yet she is convinced that she wants to stop existing, or almost. The youngest sister, who already had enough on her plate without this existential bomb, is forced to take on the role of caregiver. Determined to change her sister's mind, she does everything she can to prove that life is worth living and that hope and beauty can be found in the most unexpected places. The title refers not coincidentally to the original meaning of tiramisu: 'lift me up, pull me up'. Just like the dessert, the show symbolizes comfort, softness, and the shaky attempts to keep someone afloat. Extra: Free post-show talk
