Jupiter, the supreme god and supreme "womanizer," has declared the beautiful Alcmene the target of his seductive powers and, for this purpose, assumes the form of her husband Amphitryon. At the same time, the messenger of the gods, Mercury, annoys Amphitryon's servant, Sosias, by transforming into him and challenging his existence. But others have the same idea. So, who is Sosias, the real, the true Sosias? Apparently, no one can claim that with any justification. His supposed wife, Cléanthis, like Alcmene, also loses herself in the interplay of different statements.

Amphitryon

Schauspielhaus Bad Godesberg

They represent the Bonn Republic, stand by while their men engage in politics, stand on the terraces of their Bad Godesberg villas and gaze at the Rhine river landscape, where the Nibelungen treasure is hidden somewhere. Gold and crowns, dented by rolling pebbles, like carnival medals, next to a Nazi emblem, quickly thrown into the water as the American tanks approached. Those who know too much and talk too much have their memories "corrected" in a luxury sanatorium.

Felix Krull is a fool for everyone. Charming, sophisticated, and with ease. Early on, he discovered his love of acting, which paved the way for him, paving the way for him in ways one would never have thought possible. Ultimately, he looks back on a life full of deception and pretense, loneliness, and questions about his own identity.

Confessions of the imposter Felix Krull

Werkstattbühne

The often painful vitality of female embodiments takes center stage. Author Katja Brunner doesn't mince words. Her play is a wild verbal tirade centered on the female body: bodies of all ages, every shape. Including the female body that knows how to stage and position itself, that gives birth, ages—or empties itself through vomiting. Then, for example, the chorus of bulimics speaks, listing all the things they vomit on: fatherland, motherland, EU, fathers and their fathers, vomiting for you, against us, a little for me.

The Hand is a lonely hunter

Theater Bonn Opera House

Elisabeth is confident. Although she's currently unemployed, has no business license, and still has a fine to pay, what she can rely on is herself. Or rather, her body. She wants to sell it to the anatomical institute for scientific experiments after her death. In return, she hopes to receive 150 marks immediately. That would be enough money for her business license. And with that, she could start her own business and work again. And once she had a job, the world would be her oyster again! Unfortunately, Elisabeth seems to have been completely misinformed. The institute has no interest in acquiring her body. Times are tough. The lonely taxidermist still wants to help and lends her the money. She, in turn, uses this to pay off her previous conviction. Of course, he would never have given his hard-earned money to a criminal. He reports her for fraud, and Elisabeth is sentenced to prison. Once free again, she joins the long line of job seekers in front of the welfare office. Without success. By chance, she meets the police officer Alfons. The two fall in love, but Elisabeth keeps quiet about her run-in with the law. When this comes out, he abandons her to avoid jeopardizing his career. Elisabeth is alone again. Without prospects and worn down by everyday life, she has lost faith in a better society, her love for Alfons, and her hope that she will still find happiness.
