When Success Becomes a Survival Strategy
On Thursday, October 8, 2026, the Munich Hero Theater at the Pepper Theater will present the premiere of Time of Cannibals. The production takes us into the insulated world of two successful corporate consultants, whose professional triumph relies on cynicism, power plays, and emotional isolation.
A Dramatic Experiment in a Hotel Room
Öllers and Niederländer travel the world on behalf of their company. Their venues are hotel rooms, and their language is characterized by efficiency, competition, and professional self-control. With the arrival of new colleague Bianca, the seemingly stable system is thrown off balance. The dramaturgy reveals layer by layer how thin the partition wall between career and moral responsibility has become.
Between Power, Market, and Human Cracks
The theater adaptation condenses the mechanisms of a globalized work environment into a gripping chamber play. Behind polished formulations and professional success, a tension grows that increasingly turns against the characters themselves. Directed by Martina Sedlmeier, the production focuses on precise confrontations and an acting style where every pause, every glance, and every controlled tone becomes a dramatic signal.
An Ensemble Under High Tension
Momi von Fintel, Georg Grieshaber, Katrin Thomaschewski, Bogdan Tolj, and Rebecca Schau represent a production that immediately draws the audience into the nervous atmosphere of the events. The stage design transforms into a claustrophobic thinking and power zone, while acoustics, lighting mood, and body language reflect the increasing insecurity of the characters. From the seemingly sovereign business routine arises a theatrical experience about responsibility, adaptation, and the question of how much humanity remains in competition.
Premiere at the Pepper Theater Munich
The Pepper Theater in Neuperlach provides the perfect setting for this focused play. The premiere starts at 8:00 PM and is expected to last until 9:30 PM. Tickets are available from 14 euros; reduced prices apply, among others, for students, trainees, holders of the Munich Pass, and people with disabilities. Beverages are offered at the Pepper Theater. The underground parking of the PEP shopping center closes at 8:30 PM.
Conclusion: A Theater Evening About the Costs of Success
Time of Cannibals promises a tension-filled production with social sharpness, precise direction, and an ensemble in a state of inner exception. Those seeking modern drama, pointed dramaturgy, and a play about power, morality, and global working environments will experience an evening at the Pepper Theater that continues to resonate long after the final applause.
