In the organizer's words:
The cat is old. Once an actor at many theaters, he is now rarely in demand and money is also a problem. In addition, he has Parkinson's disease, for which he has brought support into the house: Kali, the 25-year-old niece of a former clown colleague. She helps him with his exercises, and in return he teaches her the art of deception. When Fox joins the Kater household, the action picks up speed.
"The trio," says the cat, "is the fastest formation in the world." With Fox and Kali, he investigates the empty room, goes to the doctor, plans a raid on the sect in the house next door. Later, on a cruise, the three are rudely interrupted during a stage play. One last trick is needed - the ultimate performance for the hangover.
Hangover of the Future is a combination of backstage comedy, theatrical self-interrogation and the search for the perfect con. The actors are: Hans-Jörg Frey, Antonia Labs and Nica Heru

English version
The Cat has grown old. As an actor, he was a minor star in many theater venues, now, engagements have dwindled, as have his finances. Afflicted with Parkinson's disease, he welcomes Kali into his home, the 25-year-old niece of a former clown colleague. Kali helps him with his exercises, and in return he instructs her in the Art of the Con. When the actress Fox joins the Cat's household, the action takes up speed.
"The trio," says Cat, "is the fastest constellation in the universe." Together with Fox and Kali, he studies Peter Brook's empty space, visits his doctor, plans a raid on the safe of the cult next door. Later, on a cruise, the three protagonists perform a Shakespeare scene and are rudely interrupted. Time for one last move - the ultimate performance of the Cat.
KATER DER ZUKUNFT combines back-stage comedy with reflections on theater and the quest for the perfect con. With Hans-Jörg Frey, Antonia Labs and Nica Heru.
_____________________________________________________
The comedy was developed and written for and in conversation with Hans-Jörg Frey, a 72-year-old actor with Parkinson's, the Berlin actress Antonia Labs, 35, and Nica Heru, a Hamburg debutante of German-Indonesian origin. What does the acting profession do to the body? Who do you deceive more - the audience or yourself? Can a stage be a safe space, and what happens when you take your acting to the outside world? What does Dionysus have to say about the theater of the future - the god of intoxication and the dissolution of boundaries? With KATER DER ZUKUNFT, MASS & FIEBER /OST indulges its passion for fiction and takes stock of 25 years of theater work in Germany and Switzerland.
