The Abendsonne retirement home represents the end of life for its elderly residents, a lot of work for the young nursing staff, and a business model with room for improvement for the management. Unrest arises when Büxenstein is diagnosed with cancer. As a retired doctor, he knows he has little time left. After a conversation with Stella, who is knowledgeable in metaphysical matters, the idea of initiating his reincarnation solidifies in his mind. After some doubt, his friends Hagedorn and Sägebarth are willing to help him. According to Stella’s recipe, all you need is a young couple in love – so they plan to match up the young nurse Mira and the new nurse Mirko. Büxenstein writes his will, in which he leaves Mira and her future child – that is, himself – with a generous endowment. And indeed, the two young people fall in love. Stella isn’t privy to the plans, but she senses impending doom and worries. When the lovers are finally lured into their night of love by the old men, their plan seems to be working. Things change at the last moment… A tragicomedy of survival by Tomasz Skweres (music) and Kristine Tornquist (libretto and direction), staged for the first time by the sirene Opera Theater.
