Herr Lehmann - Elektrolyte, Liebe und der Sound der 80er

In the organizer's words:

Play based on the novel by Sven Regener

Berlin-Kreuzberg 1989: Frank Lehmann is about to celebrate his 30th BIRTHDAY. At night, behind the bar in Kreuzberg's pubs, he fills the seekers and drifters with the liquid content of life, when he is not sitting on the other side of the bar himself, sharing his view of the world in verbose and poetic omissions of everyday life, from which he expects little more than a happy, uneventful life without surprises. He is doing well. But his world is West Berlin in the shadow of the Wall at the end of the 1980s - no time for quiet times. Frank Lehmann, who is only called "Herr Lehmann" by his friends, not only falls in love unexpectedly, his parents also announce that they are coming to visit, his friend Karl slowly loses his mind while preparing for his first art exhibition and he can't agree on a recipe for the perfect roast pork with the beautiful cook. Or love. The fact that an unloved errand to the foreign East ends prematurely in an absurd interrogation by the GDR border troops and, in the end, the Wall falls is almost just the icing on the cake. But Mr. Lehmann knows: "It's not important that it's like it used to be; it's important that it's good."
