Overview

• The team of Vegard Vinge, Ida Müller and Trond Reinholdtsen brought their work to the Volksbühne’s main stage for the first time.
• The production unfolds in a dark, comic world built around a bar, a video store and a telephone booth.
• The staging deploys explicit actions and props, including a large penis above the stage, masturbation, a flung tampon and painting with blood.
• Pop‑culture and political allusions recast the protagonist with echoes of Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and the killer doll Chucky, while nodding to police violence, war, abuse and the pandemic.
• Audience members could bring drinks, many relied on pizza or short naps, some left before the roughly 02:00 finish, and the run continues with further performances.
