The impending destruction of the theater

For years no one has been to the theater. The stage was left unpleasantly. Any scenes and an uncoordinated set are still around. It is dusk. And a forgotten actor in the closet was locked up for decades. Who cares? Katrin Dollinger, who brought the piece to the stage, and three evenings, visitors to the pathos of theater.

Dollinger suggests: we let the actor finally out of the closet. Opens the door and out tapst a knight (Calvin Smith). It does not take long and he will notice the emptiness of the theater.

What is the emptiness experienced knight? - Actually no. He will hardly have time to process his seclusion in the cabinet and the blank spaces of his memory. Even calling him a woman Dollinger and gives the poor ignorant statements for a mysterious plan. Calvin, the knight fled, at the piano, which is also a bar to frustzusaufen. And then he seduces a hypererotisierte Lala Dollinger. She takes him home. There, she pulls it out first, and then shows him how you'd imagine nothingness.

Away by an absurd scene to another, fills the theater of emptiness No exemption for Calvin Schmidt. It enables him to jail only the closet into a renewed hopelessness. And this means unsolvable riddles and long ago concluded plans, in which he plays the lead role.

Calvin is not the only one who has to wonder. Some skeptical faces in the audience falls asleep her laughter throughout the piece. What is all this? Criticism of the increasing savings in the cultural sector, which also affect the activity of the theaters much? The threat of Geltungslosigkeit of stage drama in the age of Youtube and kino.to show?

That some anecdotes of the play in the theater hall of the pathos produce only restrained response, however, is the lesser problem. Finally, the theater will be the void by no means a comedy. Seems rather unproductive the ease with which the big pieces and the underlying concepts are juggled: delivering think nothingness, the void. Can a play stand the illusion that it was already abolished itself? How to flaunt it at all and in particular - to (s) nothing about?

If you imagine such questions, it is least complicated. Dollinger decided in their theater of the emptiness of the whole wild variant and a vision of trying verschwundenden theater. Fortunately, this is not nothing, it runs counter to their own vision.

For the finale of the piece is to demolish the theater announced pathos and asked the audience to self-evacuate. Almost no one got up and left the hall: at the premiere at 16.02. most remained seated and waited quietly for the showdown. Threatens to change the nihilation of the theater, we know better.
