Krispy Dream. Ein Portier denkt über sein Leben nach

Meta Imbiss

Well, I try my best to be just like I am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
.
(Bob Dylan, Maggie’s Farm)

 

Brenda curses a passerby on her way to the elevator, Bill talks about a new business model, and Memphis whistles to replace the wilted flowers. In the lobby of a New York apartment building, the doorman is apparently part of the interior. He works where others live. On the reception desk a box of Krispy Kreme donuts, his fingers are never sticky, his uniform always fresh from the dry cleaner. “A Hard Day’s Night” is playing on the radio and he has long had every reason to rethink his work.
The devised play tells of a working cosmos, its manners and rules and the facades of a city that never sleeps. About the American Dream and about an outsider, a figure that collapses when it can no longer be itself.

 

Meta Imbiss, founded by Stella Nikisch and Nathalie Schatz, mixes pop culture with theater, thinks content and aesthetics together and likes to collaborate, in short: it stands for fire, fun and fashion.
