>> Der erste letzte Tag

Kein Thriller von Sebastian Fitzek

Schauspiel

Was tut man am letzten Tag des eigenen Lebens? Dieses Gedankenexperiment starten Livius und Lea. Die beiden lernen sich am Münchner Flughafen kennen, als ihr Flug nach Berlin gecancelt wird. Beide müssen dringend nach Berlin: Livius, Lehrer und Hobbyautor, will seine Ehe retten und Lea, Journalistin, muss zu einem geheimnisvollen Termin. Sympathisch sind sie sich nicht, aber ein gemeinsamer Mietwagen scheint die einzige Möglichkeit zu sein, ihre Ziele zu erreichen. Auf Deutschlands Straßen wird der Roadtrip zu einer lebensverändernden Extremerfahrung und beide müssen sich der Frage stellen, wofür es sich zu leben lohnt.

Der erfolgreiche Thrillerautor Sebastian Fitzek hat einen expliziten Nicht-Thriller geschrieben und stellt die Fragen nach dem Sinn des Lebens mit viel Humor und Tiefgang.

Tickets: 25,- / 12,50 € ermäßigt oder 5 € Last-Minute-Ticket für Studierende für Restkarten an der Abendkasse
