The supposed boss: How an actor confuses the office

In a fascinating play that illuminates the absurdities of the corporate hierarchies, the Linz Schauspielhaus celebrated the Austrian premiere of the boss from the whole . Staged by Stephanie Mohr, the play takes the viewer into the world of Ravn, one of its popularity degrees because of IT entrepreneurs known as a "Knuddler", who pretends to be the deputy of a fictional boss to avoid unpleasant decisions. Ravn engages the actor Kristoffer for a negotiation with a buyer, which leads to a conflict when the workforce unexpectedly sees the real "boss", like vienna.at reported.

The piece is a stage adaptation of the Danish film Director for det Hele (2006) by Lars von Trier, who, with his unconventional style, draws attention to power structures in the business world. Here, in the company of Ravn, the chaos breaks out, as a cristifer, plagued by the lack of knowledge about the industry, begins to live out his role as a "boss from the whole". He plays with the thought that the theater begins where the theater ends, which leads to humorous and absurd dramatic moments, as wikipedia . Kristoffer supposedly artistically motivated interaction with the employees creates both confusion and enthusiasm, and his attempt to embody unpopular decisions ensures unexpected turns in the action.

Although the film had only moderate success at the time, the stage version proved to be an entertaining experience that offers the ensemble numerous opportunities for development on stage. With a mixture of bizarre characters and emotional conflicts, the piece is not only a parody of professional power, but also reflects the human search for understanding and recognition in a complex everyday life. The evening in the Schauspielhaus was not only a fun spectacle, but also a critical examination of the complexity of interpersonal relationships in the work environment.
