An empty stage. One body. Two parallel universes. In I MUST DIE, performer Nico Sauer meets\u2026 himself. And one of them is not going to survive. A musical theatre solo between everyday sounds, Jacques Tati-style absurdity, and seriously nerve-wracking suspense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Light and music split the stage into two worlds. They exist side by side, completely unaware of each other. Until they aren\u2019t. Because in the multiverse, the tiniest shift can trigger a catastrophe: an alter ego crosses into the other\u2019s world \u2013 and commits murder. Suddenly, we\u2019re in a crime thriller between realities. The audience becomes the detective, forced to question everything: Which world is real? Who can we trust? While murder is happening somewhere in the soundscape, the protagonist calmly waters his invisible flowers. Absurd. Macabre. Musical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solo multiverse thriller \u2013 and a survival guide for the ultimate encounter with yourself. How do you recognize your double? And how do you beat them to the punch? Because there\u2019s one golden rule in the multiverse: IF YOU MEET YOUR DOUBLE, KILL IT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
