DOD

DOD - the program that was brought to such an abrupt halt by the pandemic in March 2020 will be revived in spring 2025. The small number of dates with this program and the increasing number of inquiries led Gerd Dudenhöffer to consider resuming it.

Life is the end
Gerd Dudenhöffer as Heinz Becker

Cemetery bells. Sonorous. Gloomy. Suddenly cold white light. Heinz Becker comes home from the funeral to the kitchen. In his black suit; 5 Callas in his hand: "I forgot to throw them in the grave." Instead, they are now lying on the kitchen table. What can you do?

"Do you want another beer?" Obligatory question - in a previous life.
Now he has to decide for himself. Familiar routine? Broken away. Nothing is as it was. His everyday life - collapsed. And this sadness. Sorrowful thoughtfulness. This awkward helplessness. And slowly he begins to ponder, to reflect, to process ...

For over 30 years, Gerd Dudenhöffer, his sensitized, sharp ear directly focused on bourgeois sensitivities, has been playing his real-life satirical, grotesquely authentic artificial character as a personified caricature of the narrow-minded, universal person like you and me, the average Joe, whom he pointedly exposes, with perfect timing, sparingly set facial expressions, devoid of any political correctness, always of course with hearty, often unintentional, because 'Heinz-typical' humour.

DOD - theatrical "cabaret noir", stringently staged, black and white, light and dark, skillfully maintaining the balance between tragedy and comedy. Tragicomic, that is. Because Heinz is Heinz. Deathly certain'.
