An intelligent and touching evening.

Berliner Zeitung

A respectful and gentle theatrical personal portrait.

Theater that is needed now: narrative, reflective, full of gestures of support, full of doubts about the meaning of one's own actions, but also entertaining, loving, comforting.

A childhood in the broom closet… but I don’t feel any compassion for that now! Said Martin Holzapfel to Torsten Clausen. Or something like that. Is the greatest utopia a world connected by subways? Where they maybe only play Berlin songs? Or are we talking about the profession of the actor while rolling our eyes? And what is actually the difference between plastic and plastic, that is, art and artifice?

This performance gets too close for comfort to the veteran Thikwa performer Torsten Holzapfel. And his life. Or that of his partner on stage, Martin Clausen. A story about overpowering and a game of identities.
