Like Lions, or The Fall and Rise of Mr. B.

Mr. B. is a successful individual who believes that everyone is the architect of their own fortune. Life is competition, and competition is the pillar of society and prosperity. He applies his neoliberal mantra even in his new life situation. On the street. Under a bridge. He is like a lion. King of the jungle. He may fall to the very bottom, but he will climb back up. He will help himself. A strong individual. Individuality. That is success. Or is it?

Roman Sikora's play, subtitled "An Optimistic Epic About Success Loosely Based on a True Event," indirectly continues "Confession of a Masochist." Seemingly naive humor here mixes with sharp criticism of the prevailing social ideology.

"Like Lions, or The Fall and Rise of Mr. B." is the second joint project of Sikora and the Lachende Bestien ensemble after "The Castle on the Loire."
