"The Impossible" - A reading with concentrated acting

Devid Striesow, Meret Becker, Claudia Michelsen, Ronald Zehrfeld, Matthias Koeberlin and Thomas Loibl stage a highly topical play about prenatal diagnostics
Modified cast in Dresden, Berlin and Düsseldorf:
Devid Striesow's role is played by Tobias Moretti

A German couple travel to England to conceive a child in a private clinic using in-vitro fertilization. Three embryos are created, but only one will be implanted. At this moment, a speculative preview of the most important events between birth and death begins. The three possible lives of the embryos - Amelie, Max and Fabian - are told in a parallel montage: What makes life happy? Is DNA really the blueprint that determines everything? Which of the three lives is the most worth living? There are three possibilities, and the parents will choose one. What remains are the impossible ones.

The master of ceremonies is brilliantly portrayed by Devid Striesow, who replaces Jan Josef Liefers on several occasions with his usual precision. The way he brings all the threads together, acting mainly as narrator and reading some of the supporting roles with a great deal of humor, is a brilliant achievement. He guides the audience through the evening's story with a level-headed voice and expression.

The exuberant enthusiasm of the performers, the enthusiastic audience, the roles perfectly and thoughtfully cast by Simone Henke, the range of emotions evoked on this evening - it works!
