Gerd Dudenhöffer plays Heinz Becker DOD - Life is the End

DOD - the programme that was abruptly halted by the pandemic in March 2020 - is being revived in spring 2025 in a revised version. The limited number of performances of this programme and growing demand prompted Gerd Dudenhöffer to decide on its return.

DOD
Life is the End
Gerd Dudenhöffer as Heinz Becker

Funeral bells. Sonorous. Gloomy. Suddenly cold white light. Heinz Becker comes home from the funeral into the kitchen. In his black suit, five carnations in hand: "I forgot to throw them in the grave." Instead, they now lie on the kitchen table. What can you do!?

"Want another beer?" The obligatory, endearing question - from his former life.
Now he has to decide for himself. Familiar routine? Gone. Nothing is the way it was. His everyday life - has collapsed. And on top of that, grief. Sorrowful contemplation. This clumsy helplessness. And slowly he begins to ponder, to reflect, to process...

DOD - theatrical "cabaret noir", stringently staged, black and white, light and dark, skilfully maintaining the balance between tragedy and comedy. Tragicomedy, in fact. Because Heinz is Heinz. "Deathly certain".
