"Yvonne, the Burgundian Princess" by Witold Gombrowicz is a thought-provoking play that takes place in the sophisticated world of an exclusive club. Through a satirical lens, the play challenges the norms of the heteronormative cis world, where luxury, wealth, men, and power reign supreme. Within this world, three characters find themselves at odds with societal expectations. Are they women, foreigners, or members of the queer community? The events portrayed in the play, which remain relevant to this day, shed light on issues such as racist attacks, femicides, and violence against the queer community. These events give rise to three prominent figures who bravely confront the shark tank of the heteronormative, white cis world. Inspired by Witold Gombrowicz's absurdist theater piece, "Yvonne, the Burgundian Princess," Toybox poses the question: what defines the norm? What happens when individuals deviate from society's predetermined expectations, just as Yvonne and the three main characters in this adaptation do? How does society react? One thing is clear: remaining silent, like Yvonne, is not a solution. Toybox, a captivating theatrical experience, invites you to explore these profound questions and witness the powerful performances at Theater Verlängertes Wohnzimmer in Berlin, located at Frankfurter Allee 91, on February 2, 2024. Tickets are available at prices ranging from 10.49 € to 16.82 €.
