Two giants of London's underworld clash: On one side, Jonathan Peachum, who has turned begging in the metropolis into a lucrative business. On the other, Macheath, known as Mackie Messer, the gang leader, who, thanks to his excellent connections with the police, is considered completely innocent. When Peachum's daughter Polly marries Macheath, the conflict erupts into open conflict. Can the marriage be annulled, perhaps even by hanging? The beggar king denounces the master criminal: Mackie Messer is forced into hiding, betrays Polly, and is betrayed himself. And above it all, the moon shines over Soho!

Fourteen-year-old Jonas has had enough: One day, he suddenly stops eating. His grandmother, parents, and sister Billie are worried and try to figure out the reasons for his refusal. Is he having problems at school? Is Jonas trying to express his protest by refusing food? But against what? Is he rebelling against his family, society, against everything? It's hard to say, because at the same time as his food strike, Jonas also refuses all communication. While his parents try unsuccessfully to deal with their headstrong son, his sister turns him into a social media star and portrays him as a martyr of a global protest movement. But what would Jonas say if he weren't so silent?

Fidgety Philip, Soup-Kaspar, Struwwelpeter, Johnny Head-in-Air, Conrad the Thumb-Sucker, the Pyromaniac Paulinchen, Evil Frederick & Co. – the stories of naughty children who meet a gruesome end are as legendary as they are controversial. Since their first publication by the psychiatrist and children's author Heinrich Hoffmann in 1845, these tales, intended to instill morality and "decent" behavior in boys and girls, have lost none of their gruesome fascination.

Friends Bérenger and Jean are chatting on a café terrace one Sunday afternoon when suddenly a rhinoceros charges across the square. While everyone present discusses the incident in astonishment and horror, only Bérenger remains unmoved. The next day at the office, the event is hotly debated – until Madame Boeuf bursts in, delivers her husband's sick note, and breathlessly reports that a rhinoceros followed her. Soon after, it rushes up the stairs and is identified by Madame Boeuf as her husband. Gradually, more and more inhabitants of the provincial town transform into angry pachyderms. And suddenly, they are in the majority. Anyone who wants to belong also transforms – "one has to move with the times, after all."

Alceste has lost his heart to the young Célimène. She reciprocates his feelings, but she also enjoys socializing, has many admirers, and loves to flirt—especially on her television show, "Célimène Uncensored," where she invites local high society to share the latest gossip in front of an audience. Alceste, an investigative journalist, is a guest on her show to promote his new book, which exposes the hypocritical machinations of politics. Uncompromising and relentless, he refuses to make any concessions to politeness and etiquette—he insists on radical honesty. With passionate determination, he confronts a hypocritical society, preaches absolute truth, and deliberately places himself in an outsider position Witty and full of punchlines, Molière wrote a profound play about appearance and reality, and a wonderfully grotesque comedy of character. Ekat Cordes' production places the story in the garish, plastic world of television, where not all that glitters is gold, and shows that while the world may have changed since Molière's time, people have remained the same.
