Event

Familien-Spieleabend

Sunday, 17 May | 14:00 & 17:00
Südpol

A games evening begins as usual: everyone sits down together, the dice are rolled – and the game begins. But what initially seems simple and familiar gradually evolves into a journey through ambition, tension and emotional upheaval.

In a world inspired by ‘Monopoly’, which brings well-known locations from Lucerne to the stage, the boundaries between game and reality become blurred. As competition intensifies, trust and solidarity begin to falter – until the family is forced to ask itself the crucial question: what matters more – winning or togetherness?

‍

‘Family Game Night’ is a touching and visually rich performance about conflict, reconciliation and what truly remains in the end: togetherness.

‍

📍 Venue: Südpol, Main Hall
🕒 Duration: approx. 90 minutes, including a 20-minute interval
🍹 Bar: Open before the performance, during the interval and afterwards
