KAPITALISM IS YOUR FRIEND!
Franzi has been asleep since 1989. She fell into a coma in East Berlin and has woken to a world where the Wall has fallen and capitalism has thrown one hell of a party.
KAPITALISM IS YOUR FRIEND! is a rollicking, darkly comic solo show where political systems, David Hasselhoff and the Berlin Wall collide. Armed with the optimism of a 1980s teenager, Franzi throws herself headfirst into the freedoms of the new world, with increasingly absurd results.
Blending political satire, physical comedy, multimedia and audience interaction, the show hurtles from the ridiculous to the unsettling as Franzi’s faith in this new world begins to wobble.
Dancing may be required.
