Join the ACF DC for an intriguing evening of theater featuring LOST MY WAY - When life doesn’t go according to plan, written by and starring Saskia Norman and directed by Elisabeth Halikiopoulos.
Lost My Way is a bold, funny, and deeply personal theatrical journey. What begins as a simple therapy session quickly spirals into a trip through Saskia’s past, where she brings a cast of characters to life while revisiting the moments that shaped her - a sudden family tragedy, the struggle and recovery from an eating disorder, the refuge she found in acting, and the glittering dream of Hollywood—followed by the culture shock of chasing it.
Blending raw honesty with sharp humor, Lost My Way turns life’s heaviest chapters into a story that is as heartfelt as it is hilarious. The show combines storytelling with stand-up and creates a one-woman theatrical ride about getting lost—and finding yourself.
Doors open at 6:15 PM. The event starts at 7:00 PM and is followed by an Austrian wine reception.
