Sebastian Lehmann - Kleinere Katastrophen

Sebastian has switched sides. Until recently, he was mainly a son. Now he has one of his own. Many people didn't think he had it in him - his mother least of all.

For a while, Sebastian had "Elternzeit" - plenty of time with his parents, who call from his hometown of Freiburg. Now it's time with the kid. Because it's absurd that parental leave is called "Elternzeit" (parents' time) - parents have no time left at all, except for their children. So his new show is about the child. And naturally about the grandparents too. And about the late-capitalist demands of postmodernity and Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy. Maybe.

It's suitable for everyone: most people are either children or parents, after all. Some are even both. Like Sebastian.

Sebastian Lehmann was born in Freiburg and lives in Berlin. His radio columns "Elterntelefonate" and "Lehmanns Leben" air on SWR3 and RBB radioeins. He has written numerous books; his most recent is the autobiographical parenting guide "Ich hab's dir doch gleich gesagt, Sebastian."
