"When you are afraid, or amazed, or both at the same time, you have a strange gleam in your eye."
When petty criminal Michel is on his way to Paris in a stolen luxury car, he gets caught up in a police checkpoint and shoots a policeman by accident. On the run, he goes into hiding with the love of his life, Patricia, and tries to persuade her to run away with him to Italy. The two spend a few intense days full of existential conversations and physical closeness. But the police get onto the couple's trail and put pressure on Patricia, who suddenly has to choose between Michel and her independence in life.
Jean-Luc Godard's debut film "Out of Breath" was a revolutionary film that broke all the rules of its time and is still considered one of the masterpieces of film history.
On the intimate stage, two Rott5 newcomers make a grandiose debut that is celebrated by the audience.

In his retelling of Godard's feature film debut, Alexander Ritter follows the original very closely, and yet he tells a different story. (...) Ritter gives it a completely different depth; Michel's love becomes credible, Patricia's hesitation is overcome - unlike in the film.

Alexander Ritter is not interested in nihilism. But he also asks an existential question. He is interested in the "why". (...) Perhaps the form of the search for the why of life and love described in the production is the modern version of existentialism's futile search for meaning.

The wonderful soundtrack sets the tone for the production at the Rottstr5 Theater. The artistic director of the district's hippest off-stage is less interested in the crime story than in the tragically ending love affair.

The dance becomes wild and ecstatic - it is a moment of perfect love and unadulterated happiness that does not exist in Godard's film.

Alexander Ritter has picked up on this in his highly dramatic eighty-minute chamber play by interrupting the chronology of events in Patricia's apartment with scenic digressions and pantomime interludes and congenially supplementing them with external texts.

Alexander Ritter's production also comes to an impressive, thoroughly surprising end, which we don't want to give away. As Delon and Dalida say: "Mais c?est fini le temps des rêves..."
