Dramaturge

America's most bizarre family is back with a new story: The Addams live a life in their house in Central Park that is anything but ordinary, full of darkness, pain and death. But that could soon change: Wednesday, the daughter of the family, has grown up and falls in love with a handsome, intelligent young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have never met before. As if that wasn't bad enough, Wednesday lets her father in on her secret and begs him not to tell her mother. Now Gomez Addams has to do something he has never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife Morticia. And the next catastrophe is just around the corner: That evening the families are supposed to get to know each other and Wednesday just wants a completely normal evening without any unusual incidents, but everything turns out differently than planned...

The Addams Family

Staatstheater Mainz

On February 19, 2020, a right-wing extremist known to the police shot dead nine people with an immigration background in Hanau - one of the most brutal series of murders in recent German history, which has hardly been dealt with to date.

And now Hanau

Landgericht Mainz

A young couple sets out on a journey to become average. They move from Berlin to Haßloch. Haßloch is considered the most average place in Germany and is a so-called "Magic Town". The economy takes advantage of the averageness of the residents for product testing. But who actually produces whose needs here? Which wishes are normal? And what happens when you fall in love with a product that then suddenly disappears again? The need to help shape the average and the longing for predictability and security create pressure to adapt your own wishes and dreams.

Magic Town (UA)

Three women - grandmother, daughter and granddaughter - are sitting together at dinner in a cozy apartment in a European city. They talk about their shopping, the upcoming weekend trip and the school work of the youngest, as if they had always lived here. But they only moved into this house a few months ago, where they are known as the Ukrainian "refugees". They describe themselves more as "temporarily displaced persons".
It seems almost inconceivable that the three of them stormed out of the house under a bomb alert or were stuck in a traffic jam at the gates of Europe, on their way to an uncertain future.
