Theater: ALL DAS SCHÖNE
A play in German by Duncan Macmillan as part of the 20th anniversary of the JoJo association for families with mental health issues; actress: Marea Weller; director: Wolfgang Kandler
How does a child react to their mother's suicide attempt? They write her a list of everything that is beautiful in the world: 1. Ice cream, 2. Water fights, 3. Being allowed to stay up later than usual and watch TV, ... They hope that their mother will actually read the list, that the depression will end and life will go on. And it does. But not everything automatically turns out well.
With the involvement of the audience, “Macmillan deftly transforms supposed specters into strokes of luck” (The New York Times) and “finds the perfect balance between what makes life seem desperate and what makes it so wonderful” (The Independent).
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the JoJo Association, we will also be serving something delicious at the Nexus Bar from 6 p.m. onwards: tasty pasta dishes. (Please book your pasta package in advance!)
