A Comedy in 3 Acts by Nora Abdel-Maksoud
Grit your teeth and push on through: What doping is required to lead a performance-oriented life? — A darkly humorous comedy about careers, bodies and care in a capitalist society.
Ambitious local politician Lütje Wesel has built his career on the island of Sylt. He believes in the rules of the free market economy. He understands that politics is a marathon, not a sprint. But then, on the eve of the final day of his election campaign, he collapses. His team does everything they can to return him to peak performance in just 24 hours. They take him to a secret private clinic – with strange staff and unusual methods. How does this advocate of a slimmed-down welfare state fare when he finds himself dependent on support?
At the point where the fun ends in reality, it only just begins in Nora Abdel-Maksoud’s work. Following her successful high-octane comedy “Jeeps”, the Munich native has now written and directed a new play full of plot twists and punchlines about the contradictions of the lives we lead in a neoliberal society.
