Sunflower Talk: Lecture and mini-concert with Laust and Maria

What to know

Musician Laust Sonne and actress Maria Erwolter share their stories of abuse, co-abuse, psychosis and love and round off the evening with an acoustic mini-concert. Laust Sonne, drummer in DAD, and Maria Erwolter, an international actress, have had a big secret for many years:Laust is a former abuser of both alcohol and drugs, and 6 years ago he was admitted to a closed ward with a drug psychosis. Maria admitted him on the couple's 4th wedding anniversary, even though their relationship was falling apart at the time due to Laust's abuse. Since that day, Laust has been clean and sober, and the couple is back together. This evening they talk about being an addict and a co-addict with a good dose of humor and revealing self-insight. How do you communicate about the difficult things? How do you forgive each other after repeated failures and lies? When have you hit rock bottom, and what can you take away from that experience?
