There’s trouble brewing at the clinic. Sister Marianna Schwenzer and Doctor Jasmin Tarak have got the patients under sedation and some sparkling wine cooling on ice. But their New Year’s bash is interrupted before it’s begun by the arrival of the Bülüko?lus. Matriarch Elif has her heavily pregnant daughter Ela with her, as well as her biological offspring and sons-in-law Abraham, Mohamed and Christian. This picture book family unites not only the entire Middle East and the whole of Anatolia but half of Berlin’s Neukölln district. And they’re ecstatic about the birth of their new clan chief. Elif is already planning her future grandson’s circumcision... Wait. Circumcision? This needs to be discussed thoroughly, preferably before the young man emerges.

A play about a piece of flesh on whose controversial length the future of Germany seems to depend. This play is a precise grasp between the legs that throws up a lot of questions, such as: Filled vine leaves or bread and butter? Suction cup or obstetric forceps? Hard-as-nails Samaritans and soft-as-cotton-wool fundamentalists would be interested to find out the answers!

World premiere
