\"\"A performance threw a department store<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initially, Alice quickly only wanted to do some shopping. But suddenly she is lost in the glittering wonderland of consumption \u2013 a world of everyday necessities, but also of af\ufb02 uence and promises. Who am I? What do I need? What can I afford?<\/p>\n

Alice experiences an adventurous and sometimes disturbing voyage through the world of consumer society.<\/p>\n

In small groups the audience is led by Alice through this old-established Berlin department store. Passing sleeping shop dummies in the storerooms for decorations you are entering the hurly-burly of shopping, the department store turns into a stage, the consumer turns into an inhabitant of the wonderland. The caterpillar, as expert for women\u2018s outer garments, advises Alice in questions of style and identity, while the queen controls the destiny of her employees. Narrative stops increasingly distort the ordinary world of shopping \u2013 but what can be regarded as ordinary in a world where everything seems to been available at all times?<\/p>\n

With inscrutable sense of humour and unerring instinct for the absurd of everyday life, MS Schrittmacher dissects our consumer habits formed by desire and mania in this performance leading to the \ufb01nal question: Was it really just a mysterious dream?<\/p>\n

Premiere 28.03. 2012 at Karstadt am Hermann Platz, Berlin.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Reopening 01.08. 2013 at Forum Steglitz, Berlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0IN THE MEDIA\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201eHere, Lewis Carroll\u2019s 19th-century favourite has been given a postmodern, 21st-century makeover. Alice is now a frazzled 40-something with lanky blonde-brown hair and her Wonderland is a consumer hell: Dante\u2019s Inferno meets Are You Being Served?. Alice is no longer a witness in a trial, as in Carroll\u2019s original, but is bombarded with one decision after another: Do you have a customer card? Do you collect loyalty points? Three for the price of two? Vouchers? Free delivery? Fairtrade? VAT refund? Our heroine \ufb02 ees down the escalator and the great show ends as suddenly as it began.\u201c (\u00a0Derek Scally,\u00a0<\/em>Irish times)<\/em><\/p>\n
