In the organizer's words:
What comes after life on earth? A question that some answer with "Heaven". But what is it like there? What does it look like there? Who else is there? And what is the way there like? What about singing hosanna and flying?
In his book "Wir sehen uns wieder", the cabaret artist Hanns Dieter Hüsch (06.05.1925 - 06.12.2005) pays a visit to heaven at the invitation of God and has everything shown to him, in return for which he reads to God. Among others, he meets Peter: "There is also an environmental organization here", his aunt Liese: "You are exhausting", his mother: "I would have preferred to see you as a doctor", his father: "As a child, he couldn't even recite a Christmas poem",
He encounters former colleagues, wild strangers: "You should have died 20 - 30 years ago, we still had a heavenly peace here" and even discarded stage characters, which completely confuses him. The good Lord himself guides him through heaven, tells him about his worries and hardships: "The things people blame on me..." and in Caffe Pilatus, Hüsch talks to Jesus: "I detest any kind of violence and fanaticism" before finally being able to see his deceased pets again.
The actor Markus Weiß first condensed this journey to heaven into a theatrical monologue under the title "1x Himmel und zurück" and performed the premiere at the Zimmer Theater Steglitz/Berlin in December 2023. The adventure begins with packing a suitcase, leads through a confusing journey to heaven and ends with a happy return home. In this production, Markus Weiß takes over the entire stage crew, both the earthly and the heavenly. With minimal aids, he switches amusingly from one role to the next and makes his audience smile in a humorous way, make them think in a more profound way and is sure to bring a tear or two to their eyes. After two hours, including an interval, he leaves his audience feeling quite earthly but with a good feeling for a possible heaven. Petrus de Vinea: "Heaven is language and imagination, never forget that."
