Summary/Abstract: Thomas Irmer reviews the play 12-Spartenhaus (The Twelve Fields of Art Theater) by Vegard Vinge and Ida Müller (premiere: 4.05.2013, Volksbühne in Berlin). The main theme of the project, frequently alluding to Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, is the audience. The performance ran over thirty consecutive evenings, lasting one hundred hours and counting among the most formally radical undertakings, stretching far beyond the norms of repertory theater (even from the perspective of the avant-garde work of the Volksbühne).
