DREI MAL LEBEN

About the show

How can small trifles change the great course of events? Three times, failed astrophysicist Henri and successful businesswoman Sonya are looking forward to a quiet evening at home. And three times, their plans are crossed, because suddenly, Inès and Hubert, Henri’s boss, are at the door – a day early! In three variations of one evening, four characters get caught up in a net of conventions and passions, fighting loneliness and insignificance in changing alliances. An ambiguous comedy by the author of “Kunst” (“Art”) and Der Gott des Gemetzels (The God of Carnage), both of them in Berliner Ensemble’s repertoire, staged by a champion of psychological character-exploration, the multiple award-winning director Andrea Breth.
