Love and capitalism are considered opposites: romantic-warm versus economic-cool. But the two are closely related. Love claims to affect everybody – everybody needs somebody to love – and is unique every time: only you. Capitalism claims that if everybody was egotistical, that would be good for everyone: a society of individuation. The project “Everybody Needs Only You,” initiated by the artist Konstanze Schmitt, the writer Bini Adamczak and the dramaturg Karolin Nedelmann, looks into the relationship between exchanging love and trafficking in goods. Since it is cold outside, everybody is longing for the warmth inside, where there is not enough space. Four performers (Nora Decker, Hauke Heumann, Anja Meser, Mariana Senne) cover the playing field made up of wage work, kitchen, bed, and party (stage: Julie Rüter). What kind of trade does romantic love conduct? And what does it actually feel like to live in capitalism?
