How empathetic are we towards the 60+ generation? What images are older people, often portrayed as a homogeneous group, associated with in society's perception? OLDSCHOOL defies this generalisation and presents RENT A GRANNY, a concentrate of liveliness that underlines the value of intergenerational encounters.

The focus is on the performers' own life experiences and views, who have already produced numerous productions as a senior ensemble since 2015. Theatrical works develop from their processual engagement, such as most recently the highly acclaimed stage production LOVELLY SHRIVELLED MEA, which takes a multi-layered look at intergenerational discourses and makes it possible to experience a change of perspective.
