In the theater directors have the power. Everything beats to the sound of their drum. But what happens when this power is handed over to those who are not used to dealing with it? And is it even real power when it’s been graciously surrendered? Following their successful piece Dschingis Khan, Monster Truck and Thikwa follow-up with their second project together Regie, in which with three people with Down’s syndrome have complete control of what happens on stage. Projections of do-gooders clash with the realistic fantasies of mentally challenged people. And as always, all that counts is that the curtains go up.
