Legs of the actor Wolfram Koch is on the ramp of the Zurich Schauspielhaus. Casual of his trench coat blows around, straightening the ‘ 50s hat and warped grin on the face to a Victory. Finally, he has done just criminal hard work. The murder victim with the Marilyn-Monroe-charm, which he had killed in a style true Hollywood embrace, lies dead behind him. However, the Triumph is short-lived. Barely cooking turns, doubled, Marilyn. Soon the corpses in a matter of seconds to push back on the stage. As in the Grimm’s fairy tales sweet porridge, just don’t want to stop to pour in the city. And chef murderous satisfaction gives way to sheer panic.
Slapstick nose ring on the theater stage
In hochnotkomischen distortion of the exceptional actor of a corpse hop to the next. Sweating, desperation, panting. The perpetrator and victim, Killer and Commissioner are free-flowing identities in Herbert Fritsch’s “Totart the scene of the crime”. The Director and the Ensemble would can easily make. Because what effect would be safer on Slapstick to carry the nose ring on the theatre stage as the “scene of the crime”? This Sunday evening the sanctuary of the German-speaking television, to the not any good, but at least has an opinion? Like Herbert Fritsch, this uncrowned King of Comedy, would do the alleged.
Nice, then, that he has not given in to this temptation. Fritsch has a kind of surreal root canal treatment in mind. Of Hitchcock on Wallace to the “scene of the crime,” somewhere between Humphrey Bogart, Fox, Berger, 007, Thiel and Börne, he and his actors patterns: Archetypal sets and scenes, along with a set of Loops and how scores perform search – akkompagniert from the congenial musician Ingo Günther.
“Murdered?”, to whispers the ten-member Ensemble around again and again, the Victoria Behr has this time put in great Lauren-Bacall – and Tippi-you-memory costumes or Bogart trench coats. Or: “The cleaning woman found him.” But: “no, Jochen was at the gym!” Exactly how these standard sets of classical motion can be sampled pattern. Steep templates such as those often involuntarily funny, guns, and choreography, for example, with the help of the “crime scene”commissioners preliminary work for television commemoration of the rooms in the apartments of the Suspects, Fritsch and co. of course, not to be missed. And with tungsten chef, enriches the Frankfurt “Tatort” detective chief superintendent Paul Brix, a real TV Detective, on the stage, virtually “per se” as a punch line.
the end of the race of men legs
Comedic Drive also develop red rubber guns bounce like bouncy balls on the stage floor, or illustrious severed foam limbs. The be carried in clear plastic hand bags on the imaginary catwalks walking, as if it were the last cry from the Gucci collection. It’s also nice when Henrike Johanna, the connection capability of the Sunday night Thriller classic to more-or-less adjacent film Jörissen test genre, for example, of the erotic Thriller. Before she is strangled in her Marilyn Outfit of a chef will tell you, with a sexy Timbre in the voice of the “crime scene”header. In fact, the idea of the “eye in the crosshairs” or “burning men’s legs is likely to have sounded” never been so full of promise.
The Problem: limitless surreal potential seems to be the crime to be a Genre not enacted. Much of this is repeated, some of it stretches. The are less likely to be due to Fritsch’s still hochnotkomischem curiosity rather than the subject matter. Although the Director had formed for example in “Murmel Murmel” years ago, much überschaubareres Material to a hit play will buy you: The evening circled Yes in tens of variants, exclusively with the word “marble”. But for such flights of fancy to the scene of the crime “and co. are not turned off” as a template, apparently, surreality jam resembled enough.
The stage as a fellow player
Nevertheless, more Spectacular and more varied, had not died as guaranteed in the Theater – and in the TV anyway. With the Director of self-designed stage proves to be an excellent player, a rear-a strong rejuvenating stage box with blue mirror walls, at the end of a narrow Opening in the door frame size. From there, the Ensemble alternately swells as bodies – or out suggested investigators troop. And that’s where it has to go back at the end of the Evening. Each individually in an acoustically appropriate dramatic exchange of fire, the life of stilling. Of a died in a kind of tadpoles dancing, the balancing act next in the next in the cancer-like reverse. In such moments, Fritsch and co. have the small television on Sunday evening are really very far behind.
