Markus&Markus Theaterkollektiv:
Ibsen: John Gabriel Borkman
Ibsen: John Gabriel Borkman
Whoever believes they have already seen John Gabriel Borkman on stage, only knows the beginning of the story. Markus&Markus rip down the borders between art and life, and show the Borkman of today: an unemployed coal miner who got rich off of bank deals and speculation and then landed in jail because of multiple cases of fraud. After his release from jail he holed himself up at home and became a hoarder. The theater collective has dug him out. Where does reality end here and fiction begin?

MARKUS&MARKUS is a THEATERKOLLEKTIV founded in 2011 by students of scenic arts in Hildesheim. The group consists of Lara-Joy Bues, Katarina Eckold, Markus Schäfer and Markus Schmans. Together, the collective stands for its very own form of documentary theatre, passionate investigation and radical lack of perfection.
The works are characterised by intensive research, the results of which are captured on the video level and form an elementary component of the productions. However, the collective is not concerned with depicting a reality in documentary form and explaining the world - instead, the theatre context is decisive for accessing reality.
