4000 Tage

In the organizer's words:

Michael has been in a coma for three weeks after a blood clot formed in his brain. Not only his mother, Carol, but also his partner, Paul, watch over his hospital bed day and night. The two of them, who have avoided each other in recent years out of abysmal mutual dislike, are now united by concern for Michael's health. The confines of the hospital force them to confront the 'other' person in Michael's life. When Michael wakes up from his coma, it quickly becomes clear that he has lost all his memories of the last eleven years. It is precisely the 4,000 days in which he lived with Paul and distanced himself from his mother. For Michael, it is as if the relationship with his partner had never existed.

Now the battle for the right to interpret the lost time begins: while Paul does everything he can to jog his long-time partner's memory with the help of photos and newspaper articles, Carol tries to turn back the clock on the time she believes Michael wasted with Paul.
Carol senses an opportunity to get rid of Paul completely and restart Michael's life. A life in which she finally plays an important role again. But what happens when Michael's memories return?

"4000 Days" is a comedy chamber play with polished, acerbic dialogue and plenty of dry humor - the perfect play for the basement theater.
