Have you ever felt like an impostor in your own life? This absurd and witty drama opens with an operating room scene – a doctor, surgical staff, and the patient suddenly realise they need to restart. From scratch. So they do the only logical thing: they go back to kindergarten.
In Kindergarten, middle-aged characters return to the classroom of their earliest memories to fill in the gaps left by life, education, and the soul. Along the way, we meet Mart, who can eat nightmares; Kindergarten Teacher Mare, who found her calling as a child and simply stayed; and Elis, who buys kisses from Mart for one euro. Parents mix up their children, but – as long as the kid eats dinner – does it really matter? There’s a father who joins the kindergarten for lunch and a nap, adults who rediscover friendship as something sacred, and even a funeral where the deceased hasn’t quite finished dying yet.
Kindergarten is a playful, fragmented portrait of life itself – absurd, sincere, and funny. The text is sharp and clever, with interjections and remarks that become a character of their own.
