A conversation about care work, top management and time
With Teresa Bücker and Vera Schneevoigt
Bold thesis: if family politics had been more equable 100 years ago, we would not be seeing Jaz Woodcock-Stewart’s production of Die Glasmenagerie (The Glass Menagerie) at the Theatertreffen in 2026. Because Tennessee Williams would have lacked the reality and the experience to be able to write his play about the dysfunctional Wingfields, whose son has to provide for the family while the daughter can only achieve financial security through marriage and the mother is not the only one who escapes the present by basking in a much lovelier previous life.
Mean spoiler: more equable family politics still don’t exist. Why this might be the case will be investigated in this conversation with the author Teresa Bücker and the businesswoman Vera Schneevoigt. Why time as resource is unfairly distributed. Why politics bristles at doing anything about it even when run by so-called people’s parties. And how the top levels of management, where at least there is enough money, look at the luxury item of time.
