“‘Everyone has skeletons in their closet... you too?’
In the winter of 1988, two students at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts invented the song ‘Die Leiche im Keller’ (The Corpse in the Cellar) at a premiere party at the bat-Studiotheater on Belforter Strasse. With the cheeky irreverence of youth and a good dose of talent, they wrote about their frustration with the system, unaware of what a timeless hit they had created. A student song opera based on the song was first performed internally in Schöneweide in the spring of 1989, then publicly for the first time at the Babylon cinema in January 1990, and at the Deutsches Theater from the summer of 1990 onwards.
The television recording Der süße Duft kommt nicht von Rosen (The Sweet Scent Does Not Come from Roses), now being shown at the Theater im Delphi, was one of the last productions of East German television and was broadcast on 8 October 1990 – three days after the Unification Treaty came into force. A contemporary document of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The story of the Rohmayer couple, who one morning find the mayor's corpse in their bedroom, became a satire on power, morality and the temptations of opportunism. With humour and subversive songs, Daniel Morgenroth (lyrics), Christoph Schambach (music) and Peter Dehler (director) asked the question: How far will a person go to satisfy their hunger for power?
Film screening, followed by a panel discussion with witnesses of the time Christoph Schambach (composer, conductor) and Thorsten Merten (actor, lead actor in the film) and experts Johanna Stapelfeldt (cultural scientist) and Matthias Brenner (actor, director)
