Sylvain Creuzevault

Le Capital et son Singe / Das Kapital und sein Affe

Part of "Marx' Gespenster"

  • Theatre
150min

This is a comedy about how capitalist forms of production and the market economy have improved social alienation. Sylvain Creuzevault’s latest creation immerses the audience in fiery discussions between French revolutionaries in 1848. With a mix of playful enjoyment and political anger fourteen actors perform historical facts and characters. They founder in a debate on capitalism, the value system and the place of the worker.                           

La dernière création de Sylvain Creuzevault, "Le Capital et son Singe", librement inspirée du Capital de Karl Marx, plonge le public au centre de discussions enflammées entre les révolutionnaires français de 1848. Avec un mélange de plaisir ludique, de hargne politique et de décontraction bon enfant, les quatorze acteurs virtuoses s’appuient sur des faits et des personnages historiques pour s’abîmer avec un naturel désarmant dans un débat sur le capitalisme, le système de la valeur et la place du travailleur, un continent de pensée militante dont nous sommes les lointains héritiers. Le théâtre comme modèle de démocratie en action !

Latest information for arrival

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
