Schlimme Nacht | von Jens Rohrer

In the organizer's words:

"S" can't fall asleep. Again. He does breathing exercises, he tries to meditate, but nothing helps. He laments, curses and pleads. What is to blame? Too much coffee? Too little sport? Capitalism? The brain, which now comes up with the strangest things? Memories long thought forgotten come to mind and there's also the Teletubbies thing ...

In his text, Jens Rohrer takes aim at the widespread disease of insomnia with a great deal of humor and irony. Actor Benjamin Dami from the Ingolstadt City Theater ensemble plays the insomniac.

"Is it possible to write a tragedy that is also a comedy? You can, if your name is Jens Rohrer and you get the brilliant actor Benjamin Dami for an innovative stage project."

"He (Dami) plays the associated agonies and reflections brilliantly: textually confident and with expressive facial expressions and gestures, skillfully intoning and masterfully larmoyant."

"Jens Rohrer has succeeded in making a brilliant debut with his first play, which he is also directing."

(Robert Luff, DONAUKURIER)
