BACKGROUND:
This production has been directed by Jörn-Udo Kortman.
The set design is by Franziska Smolarek. The soundtrack for
this show was created solely for this show by the spanish musician
and producer Paolo Greco.
The author Eric Bogosian is well known for the plays "subUrbia"
and "Talk Radio", both being translated into movies.
Speaking of movies, he has appeared in a couple of them, like
Woody Allen's "Deconstructing Harry" or Steven Seagal's
"Under Siege 2". Eric Bogosian even has a small Frank
Zappa connection: Together they created the piece "Blood
on the Canvas" in 1986, never officially released except
for 10.000 tape copies for the opening of Museum of Modern Art
in Los Angeles.

PRESS:
"Sad, funny and shocking." (Hamburger
Abendblatt)
"I think if I tell you how good it really is, you won’t
believe me. Rahlfs is scary, but attractively so."(Jake
Horsley, author of “How to survive in the Matrix without
really trying”)
"I was fucking terrified." (Rachel
Barnett, Noises Off)
"Wolf E. Rahlfs’ solo performance gives an impressive
account of a mind trapped in its own growing insanity."
(Sunday Times, Robert Hewison )
"Classic Russian literature for the supermarket generations.
See Rahlfs before you can’t afford to." (FEST)
"Dive to the bottom of the soul. Wolf E. Rahlfs is grandiose
as the New York recluse." (BNN)
