Rich, White, Straight

RICH, WHITE, STRAIGHT

DER TRAGÖDIE ERSTER TEIL

»That is rich! Just two days of rehearsal and we’re supposed to create a theatre of dreams – and all that in the canteen!« »OK Boomer«, we say, »If I was a rich girl«, we think, while meeting rich, white, straight men that rule the world and say »not okay, millennial«, yet again. And while the Richards of the world (at least the III) and Marcel Reich-Ranicki are turning in their graves, we call it a change in perspective. And think about if perhaps an elite with intellectual, but no monetary, capital isn’t really an elite at all and that the following doesn’t always apply: Daddy is rich. The new series in the Gorki canteen is simple: There’s three cases of beer for everyone, as soon as the last bottle is opened, the performance ends. With conversations and dancing with the actors, the evening winds down to music from the DJ*s RICH Boi.
