If we could all just shut up for five minutes, then we would realise how to deal with this broken world. That’s what the three characters in Leo Meier’s newest play, a light and virtuoso, poetic-absurd farce, think – but they simply can’t keep quiet.

For the first time since 1945, a radical right-wing party has such a noteable number of voters and followers. »Oppenhoff« is dedicated to the fighters of the past and present and helps us understand how to resist in the future, with the unifying power of songs.

The horror story of the bloodthirsty barber from Stephen Sondheim’s »black operetta« tells of the protest against political despotism, corruption and greed for profit with pointed poignancy.

Sweeney Todd

Influencer Joy presents herself as a »stay at home girlfriend«. While her boyfriend is at work, she produces content. Her topics: Cooking, cleaning, fitness, self-care, beauty. Now she wants to unlock the next level: Marriage! For the perfect wedding, of course, she needs a father to walk her down the aisle. Unfortunately, he turned his back on the family a long time ago to pursue his lifelong dream: To be a clown. Together with a group of like-minded people, he has retreated to a mysterious house to live solely for art, without any political pressure from outside. Joy seeks him out there to win him over for her wedding - and meets his flatmates: the snooty Severin Le Magnifique, who attended the renowned clown school »Le Coq«, the revolutionary Rine, who fights against inequality with the power of the clown, and the shy ex-literary scholar Gelsomino, who still wants to be baptised a clown. When her father Flip refuses to accompany her to the wedding, Joy concocts an intrigue. She wants to split the group and clear the way for her "perfect wedding". But the clowns have other plans ...
