Nominated for the STELLA*24 in the category "Outstanding Acting Performance"
Full milk, dark chocolate, nut nougat, almond flakes, with pistachio, fleur de sel, chocolate flakes – who doesn't love them? Chocolate! The sweetest temptation of all. And thus the most suitable means to explore the difficult question "Can humans share?" in an experiment. Because even without science, one thing can certainly be established: shared chocolate is definitely not double chocolate. But perhaps this is true: sharing is bitter.
From 1000 people, three were selected to participate in this experiment: Gruber, Gruber, and Gruber. Three Grubers and a bar of chocolate. One piece of chocolate for each, so simple could the fair solution be. But honestly – who wouldn't want a slightly larger piece of chocolate? Or even a second one? And under these or any other special circumstances, isn’t it perhaps justified to claim a second piece for oneself? What rules and commandments could help the Grubers solve this complicated task? Why is it so much more difficult to share chocolate than a slice of crispbread?
Schoggiläbe, which means chocolate life, was developed by Tina Müller in collaboration with the Swiss theater Fallalpha. Very clownish and accordingly humorous and honest, the play shows why sharing is sometimes difficult for us, in small matters, in large ones, and of course especially with chocolate.
