When Mindfulness Meets Dark Humor
The Young Theater Göttingen presents Karsten Dusse's crime comedy Killing Mindfully through Conscious Eating on November 20, 2026. The production combines literary source material, pointed societal satire, and rapid theatrical energy for an unusual evening between wellness promises and murderous consequences.
Björn Diemel Between Self-Optimization and Criminal Case
The central character is the lawyer Björn Diemel, who lives by the principles of mindfulness and has found his inner center. Now, physical fitness becomes the focus. When strangers attempt to kidnap his daughter, his carefully organized life falls out of balance once again.
Healing Fasting, Nutritional Building Blocks, and Dark Humor
Coach Joschka Breitner introduces Björn to the world of conscious eating. Healing fasting, relaxation, and the dissolution of violent fantasies combine into a bitterly comical experimental setup. Dusse uses the language of modern self-help literature to question self-optimization, morality, and societal order with criminal wit.
Literary Source Material as a Lively Stage Adaptation
The performance is based on the novel by Karsten Dusse and has been adapted for the stage by Bernd Schmidt. Directed and designed by Nico Dietrich, it features Jens Tramsen, Fynn Knorr, and Malin Kraft. The linguistic artistry of the source material meets precise acting, fast dialogues, and an atmospherically concentrated reading and theater experience.
An Evening for Literature and Theater Lovers
Karsten Dusse, born in 1973, is a lawyer, audiobook narrator, and bestselling author. He became known through the series Killing Mindfully, where legal perspectives, dark humor, and societal observation intertwine. The stage adaptation translates this special mix into an immediate literary experience filled with pace, linguistic wit, and satirical sharpness.
Conclusion: Laugh Mindfully, Watch Attentively
Visitors can expect a two-hour crime comedy including an intermission, where self-care and fantasies of violence collide in a highly entertaining way. Those who appreciate literary adaptations, intelligent satire, and unusual theater evenings will experience an author encounter with Dusse's idiosyncratic world at the Young Theater Göttingen – live, pointed, and rich in dark humor.
