"Ganz nah dran": Would you like to take a look behind the scenes?

Ahead of the premiere of*Liebesjahre*, the castoffersa rare,exclusive glimpse into the rehearsal process. A special evening for everyone whodoesn’t just want to watch theater, butwantsto experience it up close—and who wants to discover how dialogues, memories, and unspoken conflicts come together to create an intense theatrical evening.

The Story of the Evening

They’re clearing out their old home together—and rediscovering everything they never said.

Ten years after their separation, Vera and Uli meet again in the house where they spent their life together and raised their daughters. Vera wants to draw a line under the past and sell the house—furnished, almost exactly as it is. Actually, they only want to take a few personal items with them. But Uli arrives with a moving van—and with his new partner, Johanna. Vera’s partner, Darius, also shows up. He has secretly followed her.

What begins as a final walk through the house turns into a belated encounter with everything that remains unresolved. Every drawer, every piece of furniture, every photograph reveals something that had long been hidden: what Vera and Uli never said, what they expected of each other, what they missed, what they never understood. And with every object they pick up, it becomes clearer how they could have drifted apart without realizing it in time.

*Liebesjahre*is based on the television film that won the Grimme Prize and the Golden Camera. As an intense drama, the stage adaptation explores the pitfalls of a lifelong relationship. Through brutally honest dialog, it reveals how quietly two people can drift apart in everyday life—and how much clarity emerges when they begin to truly listen to one another again.
