When do we have our fill? What do we want to find on our plates? A room with a huge table, richly set, but everything is well packed...
The whole table and all objects on its surface are wrapped in paper. White paper.

This is installation art. The visitors enter the room and sit at the table, the actors perform at the tops of the table. Martin Ellrodt and Johannes Volkmann unpack one object after the other, cut and fold the paper and paint it – and the story unfolds:

Two brothers, as different as can be, start meddling with the devil. One of them gets his fill, the other,too, not like he expected, however...

Martin Ellrodt works as storyteller, whereas Johannes Volkmann studied sculpture and from it developed the Papiertheater = paper theatre.

The cooperation of these two results in a mixture of word and image – feel free to listen, to watch and to taste.
Paper tastes white – enjoy your meal!


P.s.: May the spectators experience the same as the people in the story: They had, what they liked, and they had a liking for what they had.
