The Chronists 1 & 2 or capturing real time

Drama

Company
The kraut_produkte company, a group which was founded in 2000, is expressive, polarizing, and features an enormous atmospheric density and uncompromising perspectives. The four part theatre organism Chronisten, is a surprising and immediate reflection of the soul of our time. For the first time ever, the company will be showing part 1 and part 2 on the same night.

Performance
An unfinished apartment like a shut down budget TV set. We are offended by everything the omnipresent telecommunication network has to offer us, every minute of the day. This angry yet sometimes entertaining satire bluntly depicts the emptiness behind chat forums, politicians’ slippery speeches, or the homespun stories in reality shows, not to mention the prove friendship function on Facebook.
