Winning play of the Austrian Comedy Award Porcia 2025 (premiere)
Welcome to the new reality!
Josef can hardly believe his eyes: there is actually a complete stranger in his kitchen calmly preparing breakfast. But that’s not all: Jan, his eloquent and well-dressed counterpart, insists firmly that this is his own apartment. After all attempts to prove the opposite fail miserably, Josef is left with the desperate hope that his wife Margit will bring clarity to the confusion. However, she is completely on Jan's side, and gradually it dawns on Josef that he is suddenly falling out of the reality he has known and might end up being replaced by a doppelgänger…
The text, awarded the Austrian Comedy Award Porcia 2025, by the Tyrolean author and theatre creator Manfred Schild, satirizes the self-optimization craze of our modern society by bitterly twisting, distorting, and questioning our familiar reality.
After the comedy games in 2026, the award-winning production will also be showcased in this staging at our cooperation partner Schauspielhaus Salzburg in the autumn.
