SKaGeN - BIG DEAL

In BIG DEAL, based on the award-winning Glengarry Glen Ross by success author David Mamet, SKaGeN sketches a ruthless portrait of who we have become, a quarter of a century into the new millennium. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Zhang Yiming rule the world. The ideology of profit-seeking is having its heyday and threatens to undermine the foundations of our democracy. In BIG DEAL, salespeople make each other's lives miserable in a ruthless battle for bonuses, leads, and their job. They manipulate, lie, and betray each other without scruples just to stay one step ahead in the hierarchy. Every character fights with a knife between their teeth – not to win, but simply to Survive. BIG DEAL unravels our addictive and often absurd behavior, driven by the all-encompassing urge for profit and success. The price for that is high. Because what if you yourself threaten to fall into the abyss? And what if you can prevent that by playing a trick on someone else? After TRIOMF! and Dekaloog, SKaGeN is once again hitting the road with the extensive collective. Where previously Beckett and Kieslowski went under their knife, it is now Mamet who must surrender to SKaGeN's tragicomic dissection.
