In the organizer's words:
With this special offer ticket you have access to all three performances at the Rabbit Hole Theater from January 10 to 12:

The Earthquake in Chili - January 11, 7 p.m.
Closed Society - January 12, 8 p.m.
Böhmer 2 - The world won't wait
The message of love only reaches a few people. No wonder the concerts of the gruff Böhmer are poorly attended. Nevertheless, manager legend Ezechiel Pankrist, an extraterrestrial, believes in his protégé and has built a time machine from the low ticket revenues of the last decade. And so Böhmer and composition genius Danny Diamond embark on a journey through the ages. They want to learn from the past and sniff out the trends of the modern age. After encounters with medieval troubadours, ultra-artificial intelligences and a whole lot of stupidity, they feel ready to return to the future. And are shocked to discover that the world won't wait.

The earthquake in Chili
Secret sex in the monastery garden, a birth on Corpus Christi and a natural disaster that absurdly makes everyone happy - Kleist's text is full of ambivalences, contrasts, paradoxes and the seemingly irresolvable. For him, the natural disaster of the earthquake is a catalyst for happiness and knowledge. Kleist archaically tells us that the truly threatening quake takes place within us humans. This gives rise to irreversible spirals of violence, love and submission to authority.
Past meets future - seemingly without the possibility of a present that takes its time - love meets rage, seemingly without revelation in the mind - again and again in the ritual exchange of seduction, which becomes social control.
Ruben Sabel and Christian Freund bring Kleist's novella to playful life in the Rabbit Hole, freely following Kleist's basic understanding:
"Why, I thought, does the vault not sink, since it has no support? It stands, I answered, because all the stones want to collapse at once - and I drew from this thought an indescribably refreshing consolation, which always stood by my side until the decisive moment with the hope that I too would hold on when everything let me sink."

Closed Society
Students from Ruhr-Universität Bochum present Jean-Paul Sartre's Closed Society
Thinking about your own life all alone. Where does that even lead? Recapitulating the years. Why did things turn out the way they are now? But the loneliness and silence all around soon fade. The noise, the roaring and the chatter fill your ears. Can't they be quiet? This really is hell. And nobody is here by mistake.
The question is: why have these three been put together?
They don't know each other, have nothing in common, but still there must be a connection... without rest, without a break, without a reflection, united and lonely. Forever? What remains after death? A memory, a familiar melody, a debt? There is no going back and no erasing. People become what they are. Or is man not rather what he has not made?
Between the realization of their own existence, the protagonists in Jean-Paul Sartre's Closed Society fathom their existence, sometimes lying, sometimes truthful, sometimes evil, sometimes really good, and why they are where fate or chance has brought them. What does a human life weigh and who are we really?
Line by line, the protagonists' life stories are illustrated until they finally see through the game: "Hell is the others."
Play: Tanja Kiewsky, Gianluca Hille, Isabell Weiss, Emrys Perera, Leon Gleser
