The production sold out houses in Belgium, Luxembourg and France; now it is coming to the International May Festival in Wiesbaden. With a clever twist, the FC Bergman collective has transformed the exotic coastal landscape of the pearl fishers of Ceylon into a retirement home. The friends Zurga and Nadir used to be in love with the same girl. To save their friendship, they promised each other to suppress their feelings for Léïla. But now Léïla is returning, and long-suppressed anger, love and jealousy break over the men like huge waves. Past and present blur and can only be separated with difficulty.
