Content

A last day in Paris, the final hours of a great love and the certainty that nothing will remain as it was. In "Abschied", Sebastian Haffner tells the story of his last encounter with his lover Teddy. Between cafés, museum visits, fleeting encounters and intense conversations, the still carefree attitude to life of the early 1930s is condensed. The novel accompanies the two through hours full of closeness, doubt and hope until the moment on the platform that irrevocably separates them. Poetic, atmospherically dense and very personal, Sebastian Haffner not only depicts the end of a great love, but also the farewell to his own youth and an era on the brink of its demise. It took Haffner just a few weeks in 1932 to write this novel, which was still unpublished until recently. Director Matthias Rippert is now bringing the material to the stage for the first time, continuing his work at the Residenztheater after the success of "Blind".
