World premiere

Poverty lives in the hallway of a Berlin flat-share and cannot sleep. It is not only his existential fears that keep him awake, but also one of his flatmates, who couldn’t care less about the other seven residents and thoughtlessly plays his terrible DJ sets. Added to this is the noise of the city and his own thoughts.


In his sleeplessness, he reflects on his life, whilst academics and the general public chime in with phrases such as ‘Poverty is the worst form of violence’ or ‘Anyone can make it in Germany’, attempting to categorise his place in society.


‘Looking for a Room’ is a story about poverty, homelessness and classism, not just in Berlin.

A conversation in which everyone talks at cross-purposes.

Theater Schichtwechsel presents ‘Looking for a Room, No Booking Required’.



Starring Esther Bart, Asuka Riedl and Fabian von Herman.
