In 2012 actor and director Herbert Fritsch caused a sensation at Berlin's Volksbuhne Theatre with his sumptuous and hilarious staging of what was considered an unstagable work. Murmel Murmel is a play by Swiss artist Dieter Roth consisting of 178 pages of dialogue using only one word, Murmel. The result is a side-splittingly funny eighty minutes of mind-altering slapstick, cringe-inducing costumes and a psychedelic surging set - a Dadaistic embrace of nonsense and hilarity in glorious technicolor. You could call it a satirical comment on today's hysterical, overexcited turbo-society or you could simply enjoy the brilliantly choreographed insanity.
