The Truths: When a Friendship Falls Apart Due to Its Versions
On November 11, 2026, a sharply defined chamber play unfolds at the Metropoltheater Munich about trust, transgressions, and the question of whether there is even a single truth between people. Lutz Hübner and Sarah Nemitz tell the story of two couples whose 17-year friendship is thrown off balance by a text message.
An Evening Full of Revelations
What initially appears as a casual conflict grows into a precise examination of interpersonal power dynamics. Infidelity, overwhelm, machismo, bullying, distrust, and betrayal emerge from shifting perspectives. Each character has their own version of events – and each new viewpoint shifts the understanding of what has previously occurred.
Conversation Art with Explosive Dramaturgy
The direction by Jochen Schölch focuses on the tension of the spoken word. The play, premiered in 2020 and already shown at the Metropoltheater as a successful production, combines psychologically precise dialogues with dry humor and sudden confrontations. The dramaturgy operates like a finely calibrated clockwork: A single remark is enough to destabilize the apparent security of the characters.
Intimate Stage Design and Concentrated Acting Skills
Thomas Flach's set design creates a focused space for an intense on-stage experience. In this theater atmosphere, every gesture, every pause, every glance counts. Michele Cuciuffo, Katharina Müller-Elmau, Mara Widmann, and Bijan Zamani lead the ensemble through a four-person play whose tension arises from the precision of the acting skills.
A Metropol Evening with a Special Atmosphere
The Metropoltheater is known for visually striking productions on socially relevant themes and has been awarded the Bavarian Theater Prize and the Monica Bleibtreu Prize, among others. The venue in northern Munich combines contemporary repertoire with a distinctive, intimate stage aesthetic.
Conclusion: A Chamber Play that Changes Perspectives
The Truths promises a theater evening that continues to resonate after the final applause. Between humor and abyss, closeness and alienation, a precise portrait of modern relationships emerges. Those who want to experience acting skills, psychological dramaturgy, and socially relevant theater live will find an evening full of friction, tension, and surprising twists at the Metropoltheater.
