Premiere Like in Heaven”: Conductor brings momentum to the village!
On June 24, 2025, a beautiful summer evening, the Brandenburg Theater will celebrate the premiere of the eagerly awaited play “As in Heaven”. Directed by Benjamin Berger The production, which is based on the Swedish film classic, promises to be a special experience for all theater lovers.
The plot follows the internationally successful conductor Daniel, who returns to his home village to find peace after a breakdown. He reluctantly takes over the leadership of the village community's church choir. At first he hesitates, but over time he inspires the choir members with his enthusiasm and his unconventional methods, even if they are initially met with mistrust. Brilliant in the leading role of conductor Jacob Keller, supported by a dedicated ensemble and the Bürgerbühne's voluntary extra choir.
Emotions and challenges
The piece not only addresses the return of the celebrated conductor, but also his struggle with the small, big worries of life. The lively Lena, played by Änne Welz, becomes an important contact person for Daniel and brings a breath of fresh air into the rehearsals. Also the priest Stig, embodied by Martin Lennicke, ensures that Daniel is constantly confronted with the clerical conventions of the village, while Thomas Leopold as choir director Arne plans big performances with the ensemble.
Rehearsals for this emotionally moving piece have been taking place for eleven months and are characterized by the use of predominantly volunteer actors. Benjamin Berger is convinced of the need to take a professional approach to the project. The entire performance lasts two and a half hours, including an intermission, and is already attracting almost sold-out seats.
