Nebenan
"I don't want to know anything about your wife, who surely left you with good reason. I don't want to know anything about how you're doing in your shithole. I'm not your friend. We're here because you want to tell me something."
On a summer's day in the corner bar of a trendy part of town they meet: Daniel, a film actor who is on the sunny side of life, both professionally and privately, and the older Bruno, who has been overlooked forever in the lucky lottery. Both live in the same house, "next door", but in different worlds - one has moved into the luxurious loft, the other has been renting the 2-room apartment for ages. Daniel is on his way to a test shoot for an international film production in London, Bruno asks him for an autograph - what begins as a harmless conversation develops into a perfidious game of cat and mouse, in which old East-West conflicts, life lies and the authority to interpret one's (own) history are negotiated. Bruno has been waiting for this moment for a long time - and Daniel has to realize that he is the target of revenge that goes far beyond personal encounters.
Daniel Kehlmann has written an abysmal, comedic chamber play that gets involved in the microcosm of a pub and the confrontation of two characters and deals with a pressing question of our time: Who owns the city - and what happens to the people when living space becomes an object of pure speculation that you have to be able to afford? Increasing social inequality, criminal eviction strategies and spooky, sterile neighborhoods are the collateral damage of a failed policy that has driven the privatization of formerly state-owned housing stocks. Bruno is one of many who has gotten under the wheels more than once in this Wild West game, who has lost his city and with it the value of his biography.
