Followed by a talk with the audience! Actor and director Axel Pape, whom you have seen multiple times with us, brings a production to our stage, for which we will serve as a permanent Berlin venue in the future. "I have never read a greater drama on fewer pages. This story is masterful, built with unparalleled tension," says Elke Heidenreich about the story of the two friends Max and Martin, who run a business together in America until Martin returns to his German homeland in 1932.
In America, the Jew Max worries about his sister, who works as a young actress in Berlin. Meanwhile, Martin in Germany increasingly becomes a confessor and beneficiary of the emerging regime. The situation escalates relentlessly and leads to catastrophe. Max makes a surprising decision that gives the story a completely unexpected turn... The production shows an emotional and captivating story that sets an equally brilliant and timeless sign against the emergence and dangers of totalitarian systems. "Highly topical... There was standing ovation for minutes before a sold-out house." (Vredener Anzeiger)
"... not to be missed under any circumstances. Axel Pape and Rainer Appel shine." (Bonner General-Anzeiger) Additional information:
