Eggsistentialism Wednesday 13 November
Friday 08 November Franz Rogowski stars as Georg, a German in
Paris during an increasingly tense and violent
occupation. The book the film is based on was
released in 1944 and set in 1942, so the story at
that time was about the Nazis, but Christian
Petzold (director of ‘Phoenix’ and ‘Barbara’)
boldly chooses to update the story to an
alternative modern time without really
clarifying the source of the threat.
Joanne Ryan's internationally acclaimed, multi
award-winning show is a funny, tender and
moving exploration of reproduction in 21st-
Century Ireland. One modern Irish woman goes
on a comical quest to uncover the ifs, hows and
crucially the whys of reproducing her genes.
Mixing animation with stand-up, monologue and
hilarious recorded interjections from Ryan's
mother, Eggsistentialism takes a light-hearted
but unflinching look at one of life's most
compelling dilemmas.
Winner of The Lustrum Award, The Melbourne
Fringe Tour Ready Award, Sydney Fringe's Critics’
Pick Award and the Best Storytelling Bouquet at
Edinburgh Festival.
“Close to a masterpiece; intelligent, thoughtful,
wry, funny and above all loving.”

Paris is being sealed off, but Georg must first
deliver two letters for a friend. However when
he gets to the home of the addressee – a writer,
he finds him dead – by suicide. Before long,
Georg is dodging shock troops in a heart-
thumping chase and entering a Kafkaesque
world where the streets are filled with
jackboots and terror.
‘An existential thriller about loss, trauma,
statelessness and historical amnesia; director
Christian Petzold is an electrifying, original
filmmaker.’ – New York Times
