There is hardly anything that doesn’t already exist. Ranging from questions such as the way we dress, put make-up on, nourish ourselves, lead friendships, meet somebody or do it for the first time, to questions about how we provide for our offspring or how we might like to die. For every aspect of life, there already exist countless completed, deliberated, experienced concepts, archetypes and models. These can be found in glossy magazines, films, books, newspapers and photos, even discussed in guidebooks, blogs, forums and TV broadcastings. To live means to choose and to create one’s own variation out of the variety of possibilities. ‘Have it your way!’ is how a successful fast food chain so simply formulates.

In the new work of Banality Dreams, a cowboy, a princess and a chicken encounter each other in the here and now and forming from the outset, a bizarre combination crossing the unexpected paths of romanticism, family planning and friendship in the 21st century. In this way The Cowboy, the Princess and the Chicken takes into focus the fragile openness and the unpredictable abyss of inter-human encounters in the modern world, and thereby dives into the everyday schizophrenia of dreams and objectivity, reality and fiction. The work is based on the desire to live out the ideals and life expectations in the banality and unintenionality of everyday situations, its absurd comic, its profound tragedy and brutality. The première takes place within the framework of No Limits, Berlin.
