Christophe Aussems
Ademen

“A child?” She flinches. He thinks she's hyperventilating.
“Just breathe.” They are standing in the IKEA.

A young couple wants to start a family but collides with responsibilities. What do we leave behind?
In Ademen, that candid conversation runs as one long dialogue, over the years. They wrestle with crucial questions and the turmoil in their heads. They love each other to death. Perhaps that is precisely why they do not spare each other. Together searching for perspectives for their love, for our planet and for a new generation.

Director Christophe Aussems sets to work with Lungs, the instant classic by one of the most brilliant international playwrights of the moment: Duncan Macmillan. With a pleasant light-heartedness, he writes about personal and social issues and taboos. His stage work is not only humorous, but above all recognizable, urgent and hopeful.
