Zwei Herren von Real Madrid

In the organizer's words:

"Without a long warm-up phase, "Two Gentlemen from Real Madrid" conjures up romance in the Theater am Schwanhof. At the same time, there is something other than love in the air. Under the direction of Joachim Gottfried Goller, the ensemble, which performs superbly without exception, immediately sweeps its premiere audience away on Saturday evening" (Sabine Jackl, Oberhessische Presse)

"It is tragicomic and absurd, yet full of humor and great ingenuity, fantastically staged. Entertainment is guaranteed. In conclusion, the only thing left to say is: "If art is good, put a banana on it!" The audience was thrilled and rewarded the performance with long-lasting applause and standing ovations." (Leonie Schulz, marburgnews)

The beginning: Two men meet in the forest. And actually they both wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet alone. Thinking about life and death and yet, now that there are two of them, they get talking. They find out that they are both professional footballers. One is a striker, the other a midfielder. What a wonderful coincidence! What's more, they both play for Real Madrid. And because they like each other so much, the striker invites them to his parents' house for Christmas. The parents immediately take the Christmas guest to their hearts and quickly realize that the encounter between the two men is more than just friendship.

The self-confession follows at the funeral (the mother had an unconscious banana allergy) and the first kiss goes viral thanks to a secretly taken photo. In the middle of winter, the first love stars begin to glow. When it comes to light that the striker has an offer from Paris Saint-Germain and the budding love affair threatens to tip over, the world-famous defender Sergio Ramos jumps to their side.

Director Joachim Gottfried Goller, together with his set and costume designer Simon Lesemann, tackles this and many other questions and, above all, how do these gentlemen get to the theater when they only fly a kite for training?

A tender comedy for everyone aged 13 and over who is enthusiastic about soccer, love and delicious banana bread.
