Silence of death

10 October 2011

Theater k. Kulturetage Oldenburg

He returns once again to report, relive and contemplate. In doing so, he comes across limits, encounters silence, hope, consolation and understanding in addition to companions and can even laugh in the later-experienced top view.
‘Theater k’ is addressing a topic that is gaining increasing public attention through the hospice movement, palliative care and euthanasia.
Despite the seriousness, the piece approaches the subject with humor, ‘because
without laughter no crying and without crying no laughing", say the ensemble members.

The set design is the same as for 'Freitot'. This fact is exceptionally not responsible for the general financial distress, but was planned from the outset, because both pieces belong to the content of an overarching concept. With this premiere, Theater k expands the discussion about living and dying with and in dignity initiated by ›Sterbensschweigen‹.
