The Farewell Letter at the Theater an der Kö: An evening of life's balance, wit, and dangerous closeness
With The Farewell Letter, a clever French comedy comes to Düsseldorf, shaping a moment of utmost tension into theater of rare suspense. When Julien prepares his farewell and Maud unexpectedly returns home early, the situation shifts into an intense chamber play about love, failure, tenderness, and the courage to start anew. The performance at the Theater an der Kö combines boulevard energy with psychological precision and a remarkable linguistic finesse.

When comedy suddenly becomes existential
Audrey Schebat constructs the evening on a sharp dramatic contrast: from an almost absurd premise grows a dialogue that operates with wordplay, a desire to argue, and a subtle pain. The play not only asks questions about goodbye but also about what holds a long relationship together when certainties crumble. This blend of lightness and abyss defines the charm of this production.

Acting art in the name of great emotions
With Michaela May as Maud and Sigmar Solbach as Julien, an experienced duo takes to the stage, giving contour and temperament to the text. The direction by Bernd Schadewald relies on dialog pace, pointed intensity, and the subtle shifts between attack and vulnerability. This creates a stage experience that trusts in presence, timing, and the art of precise listening, rather than effects.
