Let’s talk about the heels! We have so far seen a black, minimal stage and a bright, pastel costume design. Two elements stand in harsh contrast to these two design worlds: A red heart balloon as well as flashy red heels – both worn by Pepi in the very middle of the stage at the end of the play. Both objects work as optical surprises but also as symbols: The first as a rare ambassador of tenderness – the latter as the female component of Pepi’s character. Both appear in a scene, which is located in Vienna’s Prater. The Prater – as the iconic amusement park of Austria’s capital – has always been the place of the figures of the margins of Vienna’s society: Street artists, actors and actresses, bohemians, crooks, prostitutes and homosexuals. It always has been a place far away from society’s rules and a place to let one’s emotions loose. The red balloon and the red shoes fit perfectly into this world and are greatly minimal symbols of the emotions, that are revealed in the scene between Rudi, Pepi and Moritz.
