**Premiere** Das Thalamus Theater zeigt: „Der Aufzug“ nach einem Hörspiel von Mariana Leky

In the organizer's words:

Getting stuck in an elevator is a terrible idea for most people. This is exactly what happens to an agitated, hypochondriac woman in her forties and a latently aggressive doctor in Thalamus Theater's latest production. The rescue from the awkward situation initially seems to be achieved quickly with the help of the "psychologically trained" janitor, who answers the intercom. But the longer it takes for them to be properly freed, the clearer it becomes to the two trapped people that their own lives have long since come to a standstill. With his "elevator psychology", the supposed janitor involves them in intense conversations in which their individual masks and prejudices fall. "A elevator like this can also be a kind of recovery room, in a figurative sense," says the wise building manager. And so, in a motionless elevator car of all places, the lives of the two protagonists pick up speed again.

The Thalamus Theater has succeeded in obtaining the exclusive rights from author Mariana Leky to bring her 2012 radio play to the stage as a play. The audience can expect an exciting intimate play in which Mariana Leky's wonderful language is combined with the surprising richness of imagery of a lively theater production.
