Renaissance-Theater Berlin: EXTRA SAUSAGE

Young at heart, lovable, but not satisfied in all aspects of a fulfilled life, Bernhard considers suicide as a clean exit from his existence. Insurance and other life-related contracts can be canceled online, no one will be greatly surprised by the extinction of a single, small existence. But at the last second Bernhard renounces the leap into the unknown. He stays. A temporary happy ending.

But when the doorbell rings unexpectedly and an unknown man presses with all his might for the execution of the deed, it becomes clear that Bernhard's decision has apparently already mobilized the supernatural authority for handling the end of life, death itself.

Confronted with the spontaneous immediate end of his existence, Bernhard does not see at all that he follows the order of his uninvited visitor without resistance. For not only is this "last guest" highly unwelcome, his conspicuous behavior suggests that something is fundamentally awry here.

A contest in the truest sense of the word to the death is inevitable, a confrontation that even Bernhard's quietly adored neighbor will not leave out.
