Adam is the new arrival in Ivan's rehabilitation camp. Ivan wants to make a good person out of Adam. Adam successfully resists. Good fights against evil, and the loser is already determined. But then a third power suddenly intervenes.
A biting black comedy with absurd situations, quirky characters, firearms, and apple pie.

The production takes the characters from film history as a springboard. The photos cannot do justice to the dynamics of the production – as they only show fragments of Sebastian Kreuz's very intense performance.
Sebastian Kreuz, remembered by many people in Karlsruhe for numerous productions at the State Theatre, is the narrator in Adams Äpfel – and the actual main character. He plays all roles, quickly slipping into the characters, propelling the story of good and evil in man forward with the pace and precision of a divine, devilish puppeteer.
He masters this craft wonderfully. The puppets, only partially shaped by set designer Matthias Hänsel, become – literally – incredibly alive when he lends them his facial expressions, gestures, and language. On an oversized table, they move like on a chessboard. They appear as figures from a grotesque comic – and infinitely lonely and vulnerable on the empty space. The story and the emotional performance of Sebastian Kreuz move between the grotesque exaggeration of the characters and their vulnerable humanity. The gently hellish electro-punk of “Nine Inch Nails” adds another dimension as the soundtrack.
