Malkovich and Dapkūnaitė: stage magic in the Admiralspalast Berlin!

The current theater performances by Bernard-Marie Koltès' piece "In the loneliness of the cotton fields" captivate both art lovers and critics. John Malkovich and Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė will appear in the Admiralspalast in Berlin in this production, which is led by the renowned director Timofey Kulyabin. The premiere took place on June 9, 2025, and the piece will be performed until June 11th. Each performance begins at 8:00 p.m.

The plot of the piece revolves around a complex dialogue between a seller, embodied by Malkovich, and a buyer, played by Dapkūnaitė. The two figures negotiate exchange transactions while the stage turns into an increasingly threatening atmosphere.

The staging is described as an intellectual examination of human relationships that is exhausting, but also extremely attractive. The intensive spectacle is also supplemented by the use of live camera recordings, the close-ups of the actors on a canvas show what gives the audience a unique view of the emotions and the action.
