In the organizer's words:
A bittersweet comedy
In a near future filled with chaos and technology, composer Jerome fights for the last shred of human warmth he has left: his love for his son. He hasn’t seen him since his divorce. In his loneliness, he now tries by any means necessary to win his child back—even if it means acting against all morality
A question of humanity
When an opportunity finally arises through child welfare services, he begins to put his devious plan into action: a perfect new marriage. Almost too perfect. But then everything turns out differently than planned, and somewhere between technology and chaos, a question finally arises: What remains when humanity is lost? This is precisely the question explored by this year’s theater elective at Munich’s Theresien-Gymnasium. And even though this story dates back to 1988, the topic could not be more relevant today.
Theater at Theresien-Gymnasium
It is astonishing that such a vibrant theater scene has emerged at all at the relatively small Theresien-Gymnasium—especially since the ThG lacks an auditorium for events. But as we all know, necessity is the mother of invention, so the theater teachers put out feelers and presented their performances on various stages in Munich. Ten years ago, theater classes were introduced in the lower grades. This was followed by an elective course for grades 7 through 10 and, finally, the theater specialization course for the upper grades. Most recently, this course performed Joseph Kesselring’s black comedy *Arsenic and Old Lace* (2024) and *The Rhinoceros* ( 2025), a classic of the theater of the absurd.
