No President

Mikey, a failed actor, works for a small but successful security firm. He has one task, and he is convinced of its importance: he has to guard a theatre curtain and, along with that, everything that might be concealed behind it. At first, the job seems to be simple and fulfilling, but soon Mikey and the whole situation spin further and further out of control. No President. A Story Ballet of Enlightment in Two Immoral Acts by the Nature Theater of Oklahoma is a rousing evening of theatre which avails itself of the ballet form – a dance genre which was declared an art form by, of all people, Louis XIV, the Sun King, and is therefore closely connected with belief in power. At the same time, the performance unreservedly borrows from silent film, slapstick and dance, accompanied – true to its style – by the music of the Nutcracker.  No President. A Story Ballet of Enlightment in Two Immoral Acts is an interminable, venomous and simultaneously hilarious farewell to so-called Western values and to a society that shamelessly celebrates its assumed superiority.
