Die Straße. Die Stadt. Der Überfall.

But everything can come out of a nothing. As clothes do make the man and little Munich likes to wrap itself in great significance. Strange characters stroll across the stage in Johan Simons’ production: men in high heels, wearing skin-coloured ladies’ underwear and covering up their withered flesh with fashion accessories, fur coats and Louis Vuitton handbags. And among all these men: Sandra Hüller as a fashion victim, brought to hilarious desperation by her fancy new skirt which is reducing her to a nonentity. Because it will never look on her like it does on the models on all those posters. This is theatre of existential depth, beyond all fashion and beautiful surfaces.
