Der Nachbar

In the organizer's words:

Based on a novel by Amélie Nothomb, adapted for the stage by Jens Dornheim.
The literature professor Emil Hausner and his wife Adele have been a couple since childhood. Adele is the familiar constant in the professor's life. They have a harmonious and balanced relationship. The couple have had enough of life in the crowded city. They finally live in the country, in deep silence, peacefully and pleasantly secluded, surrounded by the greatest possible natural beauty. However, this new refuge is thwarted by the only neighbor from the adjacent house. He invades the idyll and makes himself at home, a foul-mouthed pest who wants to be entertained regularly.
In order to put off the guest, who sits sourly in the living room for two hours a day, Emil tries to play the role of the "Anöder" and tries to pontificate on topics that are as uninteresting as possible. But all strategies seem to come to nothing: The involuntary host's gentle and cultivated nature is put to the test in his various attempts to get rid of the troublemaker, which are initially simple, then cunning and finally brutal. The professor feverishly undergoes introspection in order to find a recipe for crisis in his memory. But in the end, nothing is as it seems.
