An almost normal evening. Henri and Sonja are at home. The doorbell rings. The guests expected for tomorrow are waiting at the door: a disaster. But the evening is important. The guests of tomorrow are the famous astrophysicist Hubert Finidori and his wife. Hubert Finidori is supposed to help Henri - also a cosmologist, but with a stumbling career - to get a promotion. There are surprising turns, changing alliances, ever new variants of the escalation. A brilliant comedy.
 

King Lear is regarded as the pinnacle of theatre: difficult to climb but from there you can look down into the abyss. It is a royal drama which starts with the old king announcing a rhetorical competition between his three daughters, disinheriting the youngest, dividing his kingdom in two and giving up power. But instead of a peaceful retirement, an odyssey awaits Lear during which he will lose all the certainties he had before.

But everything is a little bit different today. The Invisible Man is all about what you can’t see. About invisiblity. And secretly it’s also about how nice it can be not being seen.
 

Afraid to die? People no longer remember. In the future in Elias Canetti's play Die Befristeten, the date of death is fixed for all human beings, from birth. There are no more fatal accidents, no more murder in the conventional sense, the oldest people are generally considered to be the most valuable, and death is romantically called "the moment".
 

A man and a woman sitting in a living room talking. Their conversation zigzags through their shared and undivided past and present.
