One day, the three-year-old child Useppe and his kitten simply disappear without a trace. No one knows what has happened.

In this one-person play, Hamed Taheri takes his audience on a trip through the modern world, whose state is unsparingly revealed in Femmina Balba’s search for her son. But what can be infinitely destroyed can infinitely survive. »Femmina Balba« was world premiered during the Summer in Stuttgart 07 Festival and was celebrated as the festival event.
