"Lélé" is the fictional correspondence between two people who couldn't be more different and couldn't live more differently.
A man writes a letter of thanks. A woman replies. This is how it begins. "Lélé" is the fictional correspondence between two people who couldn't be more different and couldn't live more differently. An elderly widower expresses his thanks for the result of an internet order - a custom-made dog collar with the name "Oskarla" embroidered on it.
Rather surprisingly, the person responsible for this work replies - the inmate of a prison. The dog collar is part of the "Mit Haftung" website's product range. The initially formal dialog soon becomes something more, an exchange between two very individual characters who neither address their mutual forlornness nor their respective imprisonment... but always make it felt. And who have a lot to give each other until there is nothing left to lose.
"Lélé" was literally tailor-made for stage and film stars Matthias Habich and Julia Jäger. For their part, both have made history many times over, with classics such as Fritz Umgelter's "Die merkwürdige Lebensgeschichte des Friedrich Freiherr von der Trenck" or Detlev Buck's "Karniggels", on stages from Vienna to Leipzig, with Oscars for "Nirgendwo in Afrika" and "Spielzeugland" and once even together, in the television epic "Klemperer - Ein Leben in Deutschland".
For "Lélé", Julia Jäger and Matthias Habich meet for the first time on a stage, namely in the Bruckner Foyer of Berlin's Renaissance Theater.
