Family drama in the German theater: When the past returns

Theaterplatz 11, 37073 Göttingen, Deutschland - At the German Theater Göttingen, the family piece "The Night, as Laurier awakened" by the Canadian author Michel Marc Bouchard is celebrated with a lot of applause. Director Michael Letmathe stages his first piece at this renowned institution with an extraordinary stage concept that is fully focused on family drama. The protagonist Mimi, played by guest actress Yana Robin La Baume, returns to her parents' house after eleven years of absence to prepare her mother's funeral. What begins as a return will soon become a tension area of old injuries and unspoken conflicts, such as The Göttinger Tageblatt reported.

The painful memories of a traumatic event with the neighbor Laurier throw a shadow on the family reunion. Mimi, who cremes crowded in her career as a star leader, meets her three brothers in the course of the plot, whose own problems also burden the already tense atmosphere. Letmathe draws from the full wealth of experience of the actors and creates a dense drama full of emotional twists. The staging is a successful mix of humor and serious topics that spell over the spectators up to the last minute. The strong ensemble performance is recognized by the audience with loud applause.
