Overview
- The Germany premiere took place at the Schaubühne’s temporary K156 space opposite the main house, using a transparent frontage that folds the Kurfürstendamm into the performance.
- Playwright Marius von Mayenburg directs his own text, presenting an authorial look at his social milieu.
- Marie Burchard and Stefan Stern perform as a couple that repeatedly swaps professional and domestic roles.
- Jan Pappelbaum’s open, decorationless design removes theatrical illusion and places the audience in close proximity to the action.
- The production runs about 100 minutes with precise pacing and humor, and early press from BILD emphasizes its provocative examination of contemporary partnership dynamics.
