Glücklich die Glücklichen

Grafik Spielzeit 2627

Grafik Spielzeit 2627

© Moritz Haase, Grafik: Birgit Karn

Let's be honest: Are you really happy? With your marriage? Your lovers? The people you spend your life with, day in and day out? And if not: would you admit it? Yasmina Reza's novel about the Parisian middle class is a precise, bitterly funny panorama of love and marriage stories, examining the desires and nastiness of those who constantly confuse expectations and desires. Because what does it even mean, "to be happy"?

Artists/Collaborators: Von Yasmina Reza (Autor/in), Cordelia Wege (Odile Toscano, Chantal Audouin, Hélène Barnèche), Gerrit Jansen (Robert Toscano, Philip Chemla), Martin Rentzsch (Ernest Blot, Rémi Grobe), Oliver Kraushaar (Raoul Barnèche, Darius Ardashir), Amelie Willberg (Loula Moreno, Virginie Déruelle, Paola Suares), Oliver Reese, Hansjörg Hartung, Elina Schnizler, Jörg Gollasch, Laura Fischer, Hans Fründt, Johannes Nölting

Runtime: Tue, 08/09/2026 to Tue, 29/09/2026

You know that moment when – at the cheese counter in the supermarket, or when you run into an old school friend on the tram – the thought suddenly occurs to you that you’re in the wrong life? That you took a wrong turn someone? That the man sleeping beside you night after night might not be the right person for you? And: would you admit it? And: do you know that moment when you simply switch off the light on the nightstand and continue on the next morning as if nothing has happened?Yasmina Reza's novel "Glücklich die Glücklichen" ("Happy Are the Happy") dissects Parisian middle-class relationships along with their everyday irritations and nastiness, and very closely scrutinises the so-called "good life" of the kind of people who find it so difficult to differentiate between expectations and desires, and therefore always choose what is more secure. Because what does it even mean, "to be happy"?    Yasmina Reza, born in 1959 in Paris, has been examining the dark underbelly of middle-class society in her novels and plays for over thirty years. With "Kunst" ("Art"), she became one the most frequently performed playwrights of her generation. "Der Gott des Gemetzels" ("The God of Carnage") has been published in more than forty languages and was adapted for the screen by Roman Polanski. At the Berliner Ensemble, director and artistic director Oliver Reese will now direct the first German-language adaptation of her novel "Glücklich die Glücklichen".
