René Pollesch – Volksbühne

I love you, but I’ve chosen Entdramatisierung

June 17th performance cancelled due to rain

“I was sitting around here the other day, the atmosphere was pleasant and I had a feeling of being at home when it came to me that this kind of thing – that is, home as a space for living – means nothing to the person opposite me. And suddenly I’m beginning to find the notion of home a bit absurd. I’m always willing to enter into a constructive dialogue with the other person, you know. Obviously, it’s difficult to conceptualize his living spaces in traditional terms. He has no home. Yet he is, of course, not homeless. As I make an attempt to change the subject altogether, I touch upon the topic of “future,” and it’s exactly the same thing: the future simply means nothing to him. The future has no relevance to him, at all.” A poignantly funny performance which raises major philosophical questions, set in the wagons of the Volksbühne’s Rollende Road Show.
