The very metaphorical performance dance piece „The show must go on“ performs the lyrics of pop songs: Darkness without anyone on stage (except the DJ – as from 2001 he has to deal with CDs and a CD player) background sound is „Tonight“ from West Side Story followed by „Let the sunshine in“ from Hair while the light (also from eastern directions) lights up the stage. Then David Bowie’s  „Let’s dance“ is played and the performer get on stage – only dancing to the chorus.. Standing still watching the audience in between… And this goes on and on.. The audience is very talkative. Jérôme Bel. Volkbühne Berlin, Berlin Mitte.
