“Bin nebenan – Monologe für zuhause” [“I’m Next Door – Monologues for at Home”] is a collection of 12 episodes about people and their attempts to furnish a home. The colors mint green and light blue to ward off danger from outside, cozy rituals to relieve panic attacks, the perfectly clean kitchen as a pseudo-sacred space. This is a text marathon about shaky life foundations and interior spaces in need of renovation, about odd and insecure people who are in a battle for survival against themselves and their environment in small parallel universes. Playwright and screenwriter Ingrid Lausund (“The Crime-Scene Cleaner”) opens the door to 12 apartments and gives us a glimpse of faux Carrara marble, monstrous upholstered sofas and crumbling foundations in the shadow of designer furniture. With humor and brilliance, she explores the desire for a functioning home. Bjarne Mädel and Matthias Brandt bring these texts to life - for Bjarne Mädel "a matter of the heart".
