Herbert Fritsch – Volksbühne
Murmel Murmel – Mumbling
by Dieter Roth
A long-gestating project in the mind of German director Herbert Fritsch, Dieter Roth’s self-published 1974 book Murmel (Mumbling) is brought to the stage. Roth’s small brown-paper octavo volume consists of 178 pages which repeat a single word: “Murmel.” In 2012, Fritsch finally delivered on his promise. One of the most celebrated actors to be associated with the Volksbühne, Fritsch established himself in recent years as an award-winning director of dark comedies. His hilarious, madcap performance employs fourteen actors who continually mumble the book’s single word, elevating the text to a hypnotic, psychedelic experience which does justice to the late Roth, a prolific, experimental artist whose work is celebrated for its virtuosity, wild energy, and dark undertones.
