1h22 vor dem Ende

by Matthieu Delaporte

Bernhard Wächter lives alone in his apartment and does not consider himself suited to life. And so he unsentimentally considers suicide as a clean, self-determined exit. He has already canceled his electricity and home insurance online and climbs onto the windowsill to jump from the fourth floor. Then the doorbell rings. And the story takes an unexpected turn.

“1h22 before the end” is the name of this black comedy by Matthieu Delaporte, who made a name for himself with the comedy “The First Name” which has been filmed several times – a Parisian evening party is disrupted by the naming of a pair of friends who absolutely want to name their son Adolf.

The uninvited guest, who turns out to be Death himself, now wants to see the facts and take the decision about his own life out of Bernhard's hands. The suicide candidate doesn't like that at all and an absurdly funny dialogue about the right place, the right moment, the right way and other details begins, in which it soon becomes clear that Death is clearly not a professional either.

The irony of the story: Death, of all things, puts the thwarted suicide on the right track. It ensures that he meets the woman he had only admired from afar one floor up. And so he suddenly experiences lightness and optimism. He realizes what life is worth living for. A twist-filled mix of black humor and existential questions right up to the end, set between Ingmar Bergman's drama "The Seventh Seal" and Woody Allen's farce "Death Knocks", the author draws an original and witty speculation about the immediate time before the end.

Sebastian Bezzel, whose latest EBERHOFER film REHRAGOUT-RENDEZVOUS is currently touring cinemas, shows alongside Stephan Grossmann, who recently shone again in the television series FAMILIE BUNTSCHUH, among others, that he has mastered a completely different side to that of the Bavarian cult policeman. Together they are an unbeatable comedy couple who make the situational comedy and the wit of Delaporte's comedy sparkle. At their side is Nadja Petri, the bar-turned-Jenny from THE THREEPENNY OPERA.

3D-Druck Führerschein

In the MakerLab, we provide various devices that you can use independently. To use our 3D printers, you need a valid library card and an introduction to the devices before using them. You can take this introduction with us. After the introduction, you can reserve the devices and complete your projects independently.

Here's what we'll show you:

• How do I correctly put the 3D printer into operation?
• What software can you use and what do you need to be aware of?
• What do you do if an error occurs during the printing process?
• Who do you contact if technical problems occur with the device?

Participation in the introductory session for those under 16 years of age is only possible when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. As space is limited, accompanying persons must also book their own ticket.

The MakerLab is a place where curiosity is sparked and creative ideas are brought to life. A wide range of equipment, such as 3D printers, laser cutters, plotters, sewing and embroidery machines, are available for your own projects. You can find all the information and dates for the MakerLab here.

Art of Impossible — an intimate evening of theatrical magic and self-discovery.

"Art of Impossible" is an exclusive evening of theatrical magic by Dr. Alex Romanoff, magician and historian.

Hosted in Hamburg’s Zaubermuseum Bellachini – a private collection curated by Wittus Witt – the show takes you on a journey through the art and history of magic. Blending storytelling, humour, and participation, Dr. Romanoff explores why humans are drawn to the impossible and how our perception of mystery reveals something about ourselves.

This is not a traditional magic show but an interactive cultural experience where amazement meets reflection. Whether you come with a partner, a friend, or family, it’s a night for adults who enjoy intelligent entertainment and meaningful conversation — an evening that combines curiosity, laughter, and discovery.

Limited to only 20 guests, each performance creates a rare closeness between artist and audience.
