To do this, they transformed the small theatre in Drachengasse with minimal resources – two lanterns, a table and some bottles were enough – into a dark street in 19th century London or, as required, into a testing laboratory.
With short sentences they create a different atmosphere and lead to the home of the respected DDDr. Jekyll, who, having a triple doctorate, invites the best companies to his place three times a week.
Say please and thank you
In brief sentences they set out complex questions: What is good? What is evil? What can and should theatre actually do? This can be seen as a lesson in morality, but it is also a lesson in action itself. A touch of Dada runs through the text, for example when considering good. Three examples are given: giraffes, bouquets of flowers, and saying please and thank you. And evil? This is explored.
They enjoy playing with jewels of all kinds of “dirt” so that Jessa Bering can turn evil. Her play oscillates between performance, absurdist theater and comedy. When she appears in her gray pants and white shirt, she reminds us in some passages of Karl Valentin's partner Liesl Karlstadt. The main question is not really answered, but that does not matter. The audience liked it.
