Glückliche Tage/Herzliches Beileid
Samuel Beckett
Happy Days
German by Erika and Elmar Tophoven
Anyway, what a joy to know that you're there, as usual, and maybe awake, and maybe absorbing all of this, some of everything, what a happy day for me... it's going to have been.
winnie
Winnie is up to his waist in a mound of earth, in the blazing sun. She kills time with things that are literally within reach, i.e. in her handbag: personal hygiene, cosmetics, psychotropic drugs. She doesn't seem dissatisfied with her situation and mainly draws on her memories. She likes to share this with her partner Willie, who lives over the hill. Getting an occasional response to her monologues means everything to her. Even when she is already up to her neck in the hill and can no longer see Willie, she reflects with an almost indestructible positivism on the "great graces" that have been bestowed on her in life.
Nobel Prize winner Beckett's inventory of the mechanisms of a relationship, in which he transfers the buried emotional world of his characters to the stage situation, is considered a classic of absurd theater 60 years after its premiere.
Georges Feydeau
Heartfelt condolences
German by Georg Holzer
An accountant who earns his money as an accountant but still claims to be a painter, although as a painter he has never sold a picture that is crazy.
Yvonne
Lucien, accountant and hobby painter, comes home after a night of drinking, while his wife Yvonne hardly ever seems to leave home. With his banging, he wakes her up in an unwanted way - as so often. The next scandal of a marital dispute is imminent and ludicrous allegations ensue. But these become secondary when, in the middle of the most beautiful nightly argument, a servant appears with the news that Yvonne's mother has passed away. The turmoil that follows puts any marital dispute to shame.
Georges Feydeau, the uncrowned king of French salon comedy, once again demonstrates his razor-sharp eye for the potential dangers of his protagonists' bourgeois marriages.
Dieter Dorn combines the plays by Beckett and Feydeau into an evening of theater that cleverly juxtaposes dream and nightmare, the sense and nonsense of a relationship.
Subject to change.
