The Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony

The phönix:volksbühne transports the audience into an absurd world: The Office for Moderate Dealing with Excess battles gluttony with bureaucratic means – whether at the buffet or in everyday life. Officials patrol the city with citation pads to penalize excess. But today is public consultation hours, and the authority opens its doors for a satirical examination of societal norms.

With plenty of humor and bizarre scenes, the production raises the question: Who defines what is too much? The staging by Matthias Kreitner and Victor Reischl is based on a text from the phönix:volksbühne writing workshop. The cast includes Ingrid Gruber-Seiberl, Gerda Jenatschek, Anita Lateraner, Richard Paschinger, Klemens Pilsl, Lukas Rabeder, Astrid Steinbichler, Michaela Sulzbacher, Julia Vogt, Carlota Wimmer, Wolfgang H. Wimmer, Lukas Weiss, and Victor Reischl.
