In the organizer's words:
Event note: Ben Becker - "Death Duel" on 24.10.2025 in Hamburg
An outstanding theater event awaits Hamburg: On October 24, 2025, Ben Becker will make a guest appearance in the Hanseatic city with his acclaimed production "Todesduell". Particularly noteworthy: for the first time, Becker's daughter, Lilith Maria Dörte Becker, will join him on stage. Following her successful fashion show at Milan Fashion Week, the 24-year-old graduate of the Milan Fashion School is now making her theater debut alongside her father. In "Death Duel", she embodies the mysterious angel and lends her role a special intensity.
About the play
"Death Duel" is based on the most famous sermon in world literature, delivered by the poet John Donne in 1631. Ben Becker brings these monumental last words, which hold up an unsparing mirror to death and transience and at the same time inspire hope, into the present day with an overwhelming stage presence. The production is given additional depth by specially arranged musical interludes, including virtuoso organ playing by cathedral organist Andreas Sieling and compositions by Daniel Ott. Becker concludes the performance with Joseph Brodsky's "Great Elegy to John Donne", a poetic homage to the master of metaphysical poetry.
Following the sold-out Berlin world premiere and additional performances, "Death Duel" will tour Germany and Austria until fall 2025, with the performance in Hamburg adding another highlight.
Not to be missed: A unique opportunity to experience Ben Becker and Lilith Maria Dörte Becker in this extraordinary father-daughter theater project!
