Description
We are looking for actors who can subtly incorporate discomfort and absurdity into their acting style. Dialogue often consists of short, non-theatrical sentences. Experience is not required.

The Characters;
THEO is an atheist man who assigns no meaning to life. He does not quite know how to relate to this existential question and experiences an emptiness in his life. Nothing really matters. He is sarcastic, pragmatic, blunt, and does not adhere to conventional norms and values. He fills his days mainly with watching TV to avoid facing existential responsibility. When his television is taken, it is of great importance to him to retrieve it.

MARK is a success-oriented man. Success shaped by the media. He is somewhat clumsy, sensitive, and insecure, but appears to be an enthusiastic chatterbox. Outwardly, he leads the perfect life: a large house, a family, and a good job. However, due to his fixation on success, his wife and young children leave him. He does not want to admit that it affects him. When Theo comes to retrieve his television, he accidentally reveals his facade, leaving behind a raw, lonely man who does not know how to deal with his feelings.

JANNE is a Christian woman who works in prostitution. She serves as the archetype of the Femme Fatale. With her unattainable demeanor, she tries to maintain as much control over her life as possible. Men cannot get a grip on her. She is calm, charming, and self-assured. She takes Theo's television with her because he cannot afford her. She takes it to her next client, Mark. She causes a clash between the two men and watches on with amusement.
