Being born is a fate that all humans share. Yet birth and pregnancy are topics that were long ignored, or coyly circumvented, by philosophy and literature. But the topic “having children” offers great potential for comedy, drama, happiness, desperation and anger. When a baby’s on the way, nearly all aspects of life will soon change: one’s view of the world, body, relationships, friendships, work and earnings – and, quite often, the relationship to one’s own parents.

Claudia Michelsen
, Rufus Beck and Bärbel Schäfer approach this topic with lots of humor and explore the political aspects of this personal journey. An evening about trying to conceive and regretting motherhood, about fathers attending preschool music classes, rebellious toddlers, wise teenagers, care work and the sometimes upsetting encounters with other parents. Concept: Sibylle Dudek
