A certain degree of mobility is a prerequisite for production.
Bernard-Marie Koltès’s first text for theatre is a cryptic monologue that brought the French playwright instant fame in 1977: it shows a driven man searching for human contact. In this production, the audience follows the actor Michael Wächter on his way through the city at night, listening to his interior monologue on headphones.
