In the organizer's words:

ATTENTION! THE PERFORMANCE ON 9.6.24 IS UNFORTUNATELY CANCELED!

Great! This will be entertaining, because you have discovered the little hidden cul-de-sac in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. In which there is a pretty red painted door. Then please go straight on. Up the spiral staircase to the 5th floor and wipe your shoes on the horsehair doormat. Why? So that you can enjoy a cozy evening with French teacher Elisabeth and her husband, literature professor Pierre. Elisabeth's brother Vincent and his pregnant girlfriend Anna, who is late as usual, are expected. They are joined by Claude, Elisabeth's best friend from childhood.

Vincent (a real self-promoter) uses the waiting time to start speculating about the first name of his future first son. The guessing game gets a little out of hand and soon the ensuing argument and exchange of blows is no longer just about the first name. Marital problems are revealed, as are long-hidden jealousies between friends. Big and small life lies are also revealed. When Claude reveals one of the best-kept secrets of recent years, things escalate.

The French theater comedy Le prénom (The First Name) by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière premiered in Paris in 2010. The German premiere in the text version by Georg Halser took place at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg in 2011. There were also two film adaptations: In France in 2012 and in Germany in 2018. Look forward to a classic performance with us.
