Nebensache\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 secondary matter<\/strong><\/p>\n A theatre play \u2013 for all, ages 6 and up<\/p>\n A Secondary matter. A commonplace story. A story without headline.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every night, Cornelius sleeps in a different place. Today he wakes up in a corner of a room. It could perhaps be a class room. He is just passing through. He is always on a journey. He is roaming the land, as he has no home made of stone or wood or concrete or ice. His home is the being-on-the-move and the people he encounters.<\/p>\n He possesses nothing, except for a miserable pram. That was not always the case. But now, he stores his few poor possessions and his story in this pram. It is this story that he tells every one who wants to hear it. It is a story about luck and about what you need to be happy. About possession and loss. About debts and guilt. About farmers and banks. About hopelessness and the courage to make a fresh start.<\/p>\n After he has told his story, he hits the road again. Tomorrow, Cornelius will wake up in another room. Maybe it is a theatre.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nebensache<\/em> is a production of the AGORA Theatre (Sankt Vith, Belgium) based on the play Nebensache<\/em> by Jakob Mendel & Gitte Kath, translated by Volker Quandt (1994) and published by Harlekin Theaterverlag (T\u00fcbingen). The play is directed by Kurt Pothen and performed by Roland Schumacher.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
