Somewhere Deep South, in an all-red hotel lobby with a front desk and two elevators — one going up and one going down. Pink beanbags make up the lounge. Betty, the receptionist, is busy typing, and all you can hear is the clicking of the keyboard.

Then Danny Iwas appears with a silver briefcase chained to his wrist, and when Betty says welcome, he steps out of the elevator and into the lobby. After checking in, Danny wants to go to the museum, but then he sees Violet. She sits in the lounge sipping the welcome drink, an eggnog based cocktail, while breast-feeding her baby daughter. Danny and Violet strike up a conversation and quickly bond.
Violet notes that her daughter looks a lot like Danny. A lot. Could he possibly be the father? What is in his briefcase? When does the museum close? And what about the future? The afternoon in the lobby becomes increasingly bizarre and blood will flow until dreams and hallucinations and theatre merge into a wild genre blend.
The Norwegian theatre group Susie Wang was formed in 2017 by writer and director Trine Falch, composer and sound designer Martin Langlie, actor Mona Solhaug and set designer Bo Krister Wallström. »Burnt Toast« is Susie Wang’s first work to be shown in Berlin.
