When the goldfish dies, the best parents' evening comedy in Mannheim begins

A fish lays belly up in the glass, four parents discuss parenting and suddenly the big question arises: Is Hansi now dead – or just approximately? The black comedy Hansi is approximately dead brings darkly humorous punchlines, absurd parental logic, and a lot of stage chaos to the Rhein Neckar Theater Mannheim on October 18, 2026.

A parents' evening with very little hope

The parents' council of the daycare center Flohzirkus meets to plan the Christmas party. Helicopter dad, submarine mom, single parents and showcase mom clash like poorly tempered building blocks. When the community goldfish Hansi lies motionless in the glass, the harmless meeting turns into a wonderfully bizarre fundamental debate.

Black comedy with biting timing

The production combines stand-up feel, classic theater, and dark cabaret into a laughter experience with precise timing. From a small question about the final resting place of a fish, a fireworks display of educational dogmas, worldviews, and pointed interaction emerges. The audience experiences a comedy atmosphere where every seemingly reasonable answer directly prepares the next catastrophe.

Strong cast and Mannheim stage energy

On stage are Markus Beisel, Ewa Niren, Petra Förster, and Selma Kirschner. The text is by Markus Beisel, directed by Felicitas Hadzik. Ewa Niren is known to the ensemble of the Rhein Neckar Theater from productions such as Stonewall69, The Little Shop of Horrors, and The Rocky Horror Show. Sound and light support the quick audience reaction with clear stage technology and pointed interventions.

Between Christmas planning and existential fish question

The particular strength of the black comedy lies in the contrast: Up front, they talk about cookies, child-rearing, and a Christmas party while in the background, the big question of meaning lurks. Does a fish go to heaven? Is it reborn? Or does its path end quite pragmatically in the drain? The production turns these questions into a biting social comedy about parents, their convictions, and the astonishing ability to turn every problem into a small war.

Conclusion: An evening for everyone who laughs at everyday madness

Visitors can expect a black comedy with lively stage presence, fast dialogues, absurd twists, and plenty of dark humor. Those familiar with parents' evenings, family logic, and perfectly escalating discussions will probably recognize more than one familiar scene. Hansi waits – approximately dead, but very much alive on stage. Experience the theater evening at the Rhein Neckar Theater Mannheim now.
