A deadly comic battle for love and money as a lavish ensemble celebration
Listen to the podcast „DAD MEN TALKING“ with Carl Hegemann and guests HERE.
A Russian society in economic decline, unable to free itself from the toxic ghosts of its overpowering forefathers, entirely shaped by militarism and dreaming of lost greatness. In his early work written by the Azov Sea, which became known by the title of Platonov, Anton Chekhov celebrates a farewell to a dying world. Anna Petrovna, who moves in the best social circles, unexpectedly finds herself on the brink of financial ruin. People gather at her country estate on the evening before it is auctioned off and play like there is still something to be won. And no one sees the approaching catastrophes.
German translation by Ulrike Zemme
With a monologue by Katja Brunner
Invited to Berliner Theatertreffen 2024 & Hamburger Theaterfestival 2024.

Press reviews
“Joachim Meyerhoff plays his character with such overripe disillusionment that, especially in the relationship catastrophes, a couple of moments of bright truth shine through. And with them, pure theatrical joy.”
Die Zeit • 7.6.23
Dates & Tickets
Due to the painful loss of Carl Hegemann, we will say goodbye to the production “Die Vaterlosen” and to Carl with a final performance on 13.6.2025. The published performance on 21.6.2025 will be canceled, we will show “Mephisto” instead. Tickets already purchased will remain valid for the replacement performance or can be exchanged or returned within 5 working days (until 27.6.2025). When a person dies, you lose many things - but never the time you spent with them. We will keep Carl Hegemann in dear and precious memory, a piece of him will always remain with us. Thank you for your understanding!
