It is through parody and dark humor that Werner Schwab looks into the capitalist society in which people, alienated in terms of identity, selfhood, and even the body, find seduction a sufficient enough pleasure. The playwright makes good use of the artificial language he created as his main material. The artificiality embedded in language brings about destruction through episodes it causes to form. Through his gallows humor, what Schwab successfully brings to stage is people and their relationships, which are nothing more than mere disguises engaged in outward shows. The Tiyatro Oyunevi, performs “the seduction rondo” between man & woman without sacrificing Schwab’s own peculiar language, blistering critique and daring belligerence in ten individual scenes, by going round and round.
