„A unique love letter to the art of letter writing!” (Elisa Walker, BNN, 07.04.2017)

The BNN praised the production of Love Letters in 2017 as a “real hit.” Now the play returns to the stage of SANDKORN in a modified new edition.
A woman, a man, and their letters: That's all it takes to tell the story of a great love. In Love Letters, the audience witnesses a lifelong correspondence, sketches of two lives, connected by letter in good times and bad – witty, tragic, clever, fascinating.

She: chaotic, emotional, a child of a rich divorce. He: stiff, always composed, career-minded, from a stable, rather poor family. She – Susanne Buchenberger – and he – Martin Wacker – bring two authentic characters to the stage, who gain more profile with each letter.
Susanne Buchenberger and Martin Wacker connect with fresh accents to their past success and bring to life the special magic of this production once again.

“The style of the protagonists is unmistakable: [...] This highly amusing exchange ensures the right amount of humor. It is remarkable that the entire 90 minutes take place solely at the two desks and yet, precisely for this reason, an intimate yet dynamic piece unfolds.”

Die schönsten Liebeserklärungen - der Oper und Operette

Marie Giroux, Joseph Schnurr, and Jenny Schäuffelen offer you an unforgettable musical journey through several centuries and humorously follow the traces of love secrets in the world of opera and operetta.
A mezzo-soprano, a tenor, and their pianist have selected the most beautiful duets and arias for you, embellished with wit and fine anecdotes. It’s not just about infatuation, but also about passion, jealousy, and pain, as dramas—whether grand or small—naturally belong to opera and love!
The whole will be sprinkled with little sketches about love and guarantees a lively evening full of highlights. For example, you will decide as a referee whether a Carmen, Judita, or Rosina has more attractiveness and later, because love goes through the stomach, be initiated into the culinary skills of composer Giaccomo Rossini.
Musically, you will hear Mozart, Verdi, Rossini, Bizet, Léhar, and much more. We will administer a musical love potion that you can enjoy without hesitation or restrictions.

IN LIEBE - Musikalische Liebesbriefe

The Henschel Quartet (Christoph Henschel (Violin), Gertrud Schilde (Violin), Monika Henschel (Viola), Mathias Beyer-Karlshoj (Cello)) plays works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Erwin Schulhoff, Christian Elsässer, and Felix Mendelssohn.
The slow movement from Beethoven's F major quartet - inspired by Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" - is considered one of the most intimate love scenes in music history. Schulhoff's turn to the folk sounds of his Bohemian homeland unleashes exciting energy. Elsässer's "5 Variations" for string quartet make the famous motif B-A-C-H shine and hold an artistic surprise. In Mendelssohn's f minor quartet, passion, love, and despair over Fanny's death culminate in a moving musical confession.

Liebesjahre - Kammerspiel nach dem Drehbuch von Magnus Vattrodt

Vera and Uli – once a couple, now divorced and estranged for years – are only connected by their old house, where they raised their daughters and which now, fully furnished, resembles a relic of past happiness. Vera has now decided to close this chapter for good and sell the house. She wants to take only a few keepsakes with her. Uli, on the other hand, arrives with a van and his new partner Johanna. Vera's partner Darius also shows up. He has secretly followed her.

Quickly it becomes clear: The wounds of the past are far from healed. Every room, every piece of furniture, every photograph evokes memories – of shared failures, unfulfilled hopes, of love that was lost in the everyday grind. A quiet struggle unfolds between Vera and Uli over interpretative authority, over guilt and forgiveness, over the right to a fresh start.

Gift. Eine Liebesgeschichte - Schauspiel von Lot Vekemans

Play by Lot Vekemans
Premiere: February 21, 2026
Directed by: Joerg Mohr
Assistant Direction: William Corbet
Stage Design: Joerg Steve Mohr, Teresa Ungan
Set Design: Teresa Ungan

Trailer: Siegerbusch Film
Performance Rights: Gustav Kiepenheuer Bühnenvertriebs-GmbH, Berlin

Cast:
Max Rohland, Johanna Withalm

An intense chamber play about love, loss, and the painful art of letting go: Ten years after the tragic loss of their son, a man and a woman meet for the first time again – at the place where he is buried. What begins as a formal conversation develops into a ruthless confrontation with guilt, grief, and the question of whether forgiveness is possible. With precise language and quiet, but profound emotions, Lot Vekemans dissects the fragile fabric of a relationship that has been uprooted by life. The play impresses with clarity, psychological accuracy, and great emotional impact. It shows how closely pain and tenderness, estrangement and closeness lie together – and that sometimes a single moment is enough to change everything. Gift is a theatrical experience that brings us so close to the characters that we feel as if we are sitting beside them – and that resonates within us long after the last word.

Liebe, Lust & Hexenschuss - Komödie, szenisch gelesen, mit dem Schauspieler Gedeon Burkhard und der Entertainerin Lou Hoffner.

„An attack on the laugh muscles“
They were once in love, romantic and passionate. And now? An aging couple stands before the shards of their marriage. And the decision on how to move forward in the future has essentially already been made. Letters that the spouses have written to each other over decades allow them to reflect on their entire married life once more.
Witty, humorous, with a large pinch of cynicism, they are reminded of how things once were between the two of them. And in the end, the supposedly marital back pain turns out to be nothing more than a hearty kick in the butt.
A comedy as a staged reading with two actors who couldn't be a better fit for each other! LOU HOFFNER and GEDEON BURKHARD convince with plenty of wit and depth.

Alte Liebe - Bewegende Komödie nach dem Bestseller von von Elke Heidenreich

Lore and Harry (Elisabeth Wagner and Thomas Hahn) have been married for forty years – and sometimes know each other better than they would like. Between sharp remarks, loving jabs, and surprising confessions, the two discover that life still holds many questions beyond retirement: What remains of a great love when everyday life grows louder? And how does one find oneself anew when one thinks they already know each other?
With fine humor and great tenderness, Alte Liebe tells the story of two people who must meet again in order to rediscover each other. A quiet, clever, and simultaneously wonderfully funny play about closeness, friction, and the power of a love that cannot be defeated – a warm-hearted and touching chamber play.

Liebesjahre - Schauspiel mit Saskia Valencia, Thorsten Nindel u.a.

Play with Saskia Valencia, Thorsten Nindel, and others.
A house full of memories and four people who cannot escape them. "Liebesjahre" tells the story of Vera and Uli, who meet again after years of separation. What connects them is not only a shared past but also a place where this past lives on in every detail. While Vera is determined to close the chapter for good, Uli arrives with a new partner. It quickly becomes clear: goodbyes cannot be planned. Every room, every piece of furniture, every photograph becomes a trigger for memories: of hopes, of disappointments, of the slow drifting apart of two people. Between unspoken accusations and cautious approaches, a struggle over guilt, responsibility, and the question of whether a new beginning is possible unfolds. The play unfolds its special power in the nuances, in what is left unsaid but remains palpable. A poignant drama about the lingering effects of relationships and the fact that some connections can never be fully severed.

Bilder deiner großen Liebe - Theatertag!

BILDER DEINER GROSSEN LIEBE by Wolfgang Herrndorf
----------------------
A girl, her name is Isa, stands in the courtyard of an institution, the gate opens, and the girl rushes out and begins a journey.

"The stars wander, and I wander too."

Through forests, fields, villages, along the highway – on foot and by hitchhiking.

"Universe here, Isa here, everything where it belongs."

In the process, she meets people with their stories, she dives into past worlds, into foreign worlds, into sad worlds, and she always carries her own with her.
----------------------
Wolfgang Herrndorf worked on the unfinished novel that serves as the basis for this play until the end: a story of Isa, a story of the people she meets, a story about life. With everything.
----------------------
Direction: Annett Segerer
Starring: Andreas Hagl, Susan Hecker, Carsten Klemm, and Lea Luisa Schönhuber

Die Leiden des jungen Werther - Monodram nach dem Roman von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What to do when love drives you to madness? Who am I – reflected in the gaze of the Other? The young Werther falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful Lotte, who is already engaged to another. Passionately and with fiery impetuosity, he plunges into an emotional rollercoaster – constantly wavering between euphoric exuberance and absolute despair. Gradually, a delicate love triangle unfolds between Lotte, her fiancé Albert, and Werther: The rational and composed Albert, the heated and feverish Werther, and Lotte, who sends signals in both directions, become increasingly entangled in a fateful predicament from which there seems to be only one violent way out... Goethe's epistolary novel from 1774 – one of the most important texts of the Sturm und Drang movement – explores both the search for the self and the struggle against societal boundaries. Even over 260 years ago, this fluttering love story became an absolute bestseller and sparked a real Werther hype.

Gift. A Marriage Story

Lot Vekemans

Translated by Eva Pieper and Alexandra Schmiedebach

Premiere: December 12, 2026

After more than ten years, a man and a woman come together at the place where their child is buried. Both have taken different paths in dealing with the death of their son. He has gone to France, trying to start a new life, and will soon become a father again. She has remained in the joint house, feeling lonely in her grief and can hardly bear the thought of change.
The reason for their meeting is a letter announcing the exhumation of their son, who died in a car accident, after toxins were found in the ground at the cemetery. But why hasn’t anyone from the cemetery management been seen the whole time?
The parents meet uncertainly, trying to create a new approach. Yet the pain has torn a chasm that is hard to bridge...
Gift is a tentative search by two people for the possibility of accepting the past, finding solace in shared memories, and allowing the familiar back into their lives. Even in this deep tragedy, the play flashes moments of humor.

Lot Vekemans, born in 1965, studied Social Geography at the University of Utrecht and attended the "Writerschool t Colofon" in Amsterdam and is now one of the most renowned Dutch playwrights. She has received numerous awards for her plays, including the Van Der Vies Prize in 2005 for "Truckstop" and "Sister of", the Taalunie Toneelschrijftprijs in 2010 for "Gift", and the Ludwig-Mülheims-Theaterpreis for religious drama in 2016.

Love Letters - Thiele-Neumann-Theater

A man - a woman - their letters.
She is spontaneous, unconventional, a chaotic person, cynical and provocative, an artist type.
He loves writing letters, she does not. Andrew is making a career, ruthlessly fighting for wealth and prestige, while Melissa can't get her life together.

The trail of their letters ranges from the first notes they secretly passed under their desks before the Second World War to the era of answering machines. It is the story of a great love, intelligent, cheeky, but at times also subdued, doubtful and melancholic.

“Love Letters” by American playwright A. R. Gurney is a chamber play of great feelings and small gestures and a love letter to the lost art of letter writing - a rollercoaster ride through life: thrilling, passionate, funny, and deeply sad.

Look forward to perhaps the most famous correspondence in theater history, and laugh, cry, suffer, dream, and love with Andy and Melissa while experiencing a humorous, moving, and romantic love story.

LOVE LETTERS - Ein Kammerspiel der großen Gefühle – von A.R. Gurney

„A unique love letter to the art of letter writing!” (Elisa Walker, BNN, 07.04.2017)

The BNN praised the production of Love Letters in 2017 as a “real hit.” Now the play returns to the stage of SANDKORN in a modified new edition.
A woman, a man, and their letters: That's all it takes to tell the story of a great love. In Love Letters, the audience witnesses a lifelong correspondence, sketches of two lives, connected by letter in good times and bad – witty, tragic, clever, fascinating.

She: chaotic, emotional, a child of a rich divorce. He: stiff, always composed, career-minded, from a stable, rather poor family. She – Susanne Buchenberger – and he – Martin Wacker – bring two authentic characters to the stage, who gain more profile with each letter.
Susanne Buchenberger and Martin Wacker connect with fresh accents to their past success and bring to life the special magic of this production once again.

“The style of the protagonists is unmistakable: [...] This highly amusing exchange ensures the right amount of humor. It is remarkable that the entire 90 minutes take place solely at the two desks and yet, precisely for this reason, an intimate yet dynamic piece unfolds.”

Gift. Eine Ehegeschichte - Stückeinführung 19:30 Uhr

Gift. A Marriage Story

Lot Vekemans

Translated by Eva Pieper and Alexandra Schmiedebach

Premiere: December 12, 2026

After more than ten years, a man and a woman come together at the place where their child is buried. Both have taken different paths in dealing with the death of their son. He has gone to France, trying to start a new life, and will soon become a father again. She has remained in the joint house, feeling lonely in her grief and can hardly bear the thought of change.
The reason for their meeting is a letter announcing the exhumation of their son, who died in a car accident, after toxins were found in the ground at the cemetery. But why hasn’t anyone from the cemetery management been seen the whole time?
The parents meet uncertainly, trying to create a new approach. Yet the pain has torn a chasm that is hard to bridge...
Gift is a tentative search by two people for the possibility of accepting the past, finding solace in shared memories, and allowing the familiar back into their lives. Even in this deep tragedy, the play flashes moments of humor.

Lot Vekemans, born in 1965, studied Social Geography at the University of Utrecht and attended the "Writerschool t Colofon" in Amsterdam and is now one of the most renowned Dutch playwrights. She has received numerous awards for her plays, including the Van Der Vies Prize in 2005 for "Truckstop" and "Sister of", the Taalunie Toneelschrijftprijs in 2010 for "Gift", and the Ludwig-Mülheims-Theaterpreis for religious drama in 2016.

Lot Vekemans lives in Nieuw Balinge, Netherlands.

Liebe, Lust & Hexenschuss - „Ein Angriff auf die Lachmuskeln“

Once they were in love, romantic and passionate. And now? An aging couple stands amidst the shards of their marriage. And the decision about how to proceed in the future has essentially already been made. Letters that the spouses have written to each other over decades allow them to look back on their entire married life once again. Initially cynical and bitter, they are nevertheless reminded of how it once was between them. And in the end, the supposed marital backache turns out to be just a hearty kick in the butt.

A comedy, scenically read by two performers who couldn't be a better fit for each other! LOU HOFFNER and GEDEON BURKHARD impress with wit and depth.

THE PERFORMERS
Lou Hoffner
She achieved her breakthrough in the preliminary round for the "Eurovision Song Contest" with the song "Happy Birthday Party," written by the successful composer Ralph Siegel. After that, she ups the ante and goes as the winner of the preliminary round to the "Eurovision Song Contest" in Riga to represent Germany with the song "Let’s Get Happy," also written by Ralph Siegel. This brings her worldwide fame, and she has since successfully released several albums. After "Love Letters" by A.R. Gurney, "Liebe, Lust & Hexenschuss" is already the second play in which LOU HOFFNER takes the stage. LOU is the author of this play.

Gedeon Burkhard
At the age of ten, actor Gedeon Burkhard stands in front of the camera for the first time. Just a year later, he plays the lead role in "Blood and Honor." After his first film experience, it becomes clear to Gedeon Burkhard that his future is to be in front of the camera. He ultimately quits school shortly before his high school diploma and trains in acting, musical, and voice education. In 1992, the actor appears alongside Jürgen Vogel and Kai Wiesinger in "Kleine Haie." From then on, his career skyrockets, and more film projects follow. Just a year later, he stars in Katja von Garniers audience hit "Abgeschminkt!" Appearances in "Polizeiruf 110" and "Das Traumschiff" follow before he plays the lead role in the Austrian TV series "Kommissar Rex" for three years starting in 1998, gaining international recognition with it. The series is exported to over 150 countries and is considered the second most successful television series and the most successful crime series of all time. Another highlight in his career is his appearance in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" in 2009. In a supporting role, he acts alongside Christoph Waltz, Brad Pitt, and Til Schweiger. The actor Gedeon Burkhard, who has Albanian-Italian roots, is also present in Italian TV: In 2011, he filmed the series "Caccia al Re - La Narcotici" in Rome and appears that same year as a dancer in the Italian version of "Let's Dance." In 2017, he starts as a candidate in the second season of the dance show "Dance Dance Dance" on RTL, alongside actress colleague Christine Neubauer.

Der Liebestrank / L´Elisir d´Amore - Melodramma giocoso von Gaetano Donizetti

with the Landesbühnen Sachsen | Comic Opera by Gaetano Donizetti |
Text by Felice Romani based on the libretto by Augustin Eugéne Scribe for the opera Le Philtre (1831) by Daniel Francois Esprit Auber (Italian with German subtitles) |

With “L´elisir d´amore”, the “Love Potion”, Gaetano Donizetti, who had already composed over 30 works for the opera stage by the time of the world premiere of this piece in Milan in 1832, was able to celebrate one of his greatest successes. The designation of the work as Melodramma giocoso, also referred to by connoisseurs as Commedia larmoyante, describes the extraordinary character of this opera, which does not revolve around a traditional buffa intrigue with stylized figures, but rather deals with serious emotions despite all the comedy. For instance, Donizetti purposefully gave the young peasant Nemorino, who is hopelessly in love with his landowner Adina, the melancholic romance “Una furtiva lagrima” - which soon became the most famous aria of the opera.

Before the shy Nemorino can confess his love to the educated and socially proud Adina, he finds himself confronted with a rival in Sergeant Belcore and subsequently relies on the effects of a love potion that he acquires from the traveling miracle doctor Dulcamara. The simple wine that the enterprising Dulcamara sells him boosts Nemorino's self-confidence in a way that increasingly irritates Adina. That Nemorino spontaneously allows himself to be recruited by the soldiers, instead of taking care of his inheritance to buy a second love potion for the signing bonus, does impress Adina: For the first time in her life, she truly feels loved.
