The play between // world illuminates dying with humor!

On April 3, 2025, the large meeting room of the Coesfeld district house transformed into an innovative experience. The theater performance "between // Welt", initiated by Thomas Nufer in cooperation with the "Förderverein der Friends and Supporters of the Heart of Jesus Hospital", impressively devotes itself to the existential questions of seriously patients and dying. From 7:00 p.m., the audience will witness a touching topic, which becomes alive through the presentation of the protagonist Tomasz, a Berlin artist, performer and singer. Tomasz, played by Ulrich Bärenfänger, suffers from a respiratory tract, but uses his humor to cheer up others.

The performance focuses on the paradox of dying by showing how patients can remain emotionally and creatively active even in a physical decline. Palliative career Jens, represented by Martin Schlathölter, accompanies Tomasz sensitively and encourages him to create a final masterpiece. This piece focuses on the philosophy of palliative medicine that affirms life and accepts dying as a natural process. The main goal is to maintain the best possible quality of life until death.

insight into the quality of life of older people

The further quality of life in older people is strongly influenced by palliative medicine. Older patients often have special needs that have to be taken into account, especially when it comes to diseases such as diabetes mellitus. The approach of preserving the joie de vivre in chronic illnesses was discussed in a different striking theater performance: The Galli-Theater Berlin presented the two-person play "The Sweet of Life", which treats the challenges of older diabetics and conveys the message that life quality does not have to be lost Kreiszeitung.de .

After the event there was also a discussion round with medical experts, including Dr. Matthias Nölle and Dr. Ortrud Hamann. It became clear here that the avoidance of complications and the adaptation of therapy goals in the last phase of life are of central importance wieland-stiftung-diabetes.de .

In both events, it becomes clear how important it is to preserve the quality of life even in the event of severe disease courses and respond to the needs of those affected. Such projects not only promote the understanding of the suffering of those affected, but also offer valuable perspectives for everyone who is confronted with illness and dying.
