Brotfabrik Kulturprojekt 21 e.V.

When does the pain end - and when does hope begin again?

Aren and Chima have a long-standing friendship and a life with many parallels. Both have been through break-ups, characterized by passion, jealousy, doubt, cheating and feelings of guilt, right up to the inevitable divorce - and both know the difficulties that come with it. This shared experience gave rise to a musical collaboration that was so harmonious and fruitful that it resulted in a joint album. Under the title "From now on happy", the two men in their mid-forties with Armenian and Nigerian roots tell stories about a phase of life that many people in our society know only too well: Farewells, upheavals, but also hope and new beginnings.

After six years, Aren and Chima are now returning to the stage together - in the place where their friendship has always been particularly visible artistically: in Frankfurt's Brotfabrik - with songs that tell of crises and the power of new beginnings in equal measure.

An evening full of intensity, honest stories and the reminder that happiness doesn't just happen - it's a decision.
