Glimpse into the cozy sleeping cabine
„Just like M. Lilienthal (artistic director of the Munich Kammerspiele) favourite shabby – the only one he says he wishes to maintain when the campaign ends on October and the huts are dismantled or given away. Music sounds from a Greek restaurant on Hans-Mielich-Platz, but the children's laughter drowns everything out. "Doesn't really mattress" is the name of the Shabby apartment here, it is a tent-like construction over which a kind of mattress slide is located. Children run up there, tumble down, roll over. Lilienthal stands next to him, smiles, greets a boy, lets him call through the megaphone. Living is more than just sleeping.“ Meyer-Tien, MZ
The public mattress offered a place for everybody to meet others, stay and relax or take a short nap.
Old materials of theatre productions found a new purpose in the apartments
Doesn’t really mattress
The urban installation ‚Doesn’t really Mattress‘ was one of the projects selected to be realised as part of Shabby Shabby Apartments, by Raumlabor Berlin and Münchener Kammerspiele. As part of ‚Urban Issues – how to change the city‘ the giant mattress could be booked for a night through the theatre for the duration of one month. The temporary apartment consist of recycled material and creates a focus on rising living costs and the housing market in today’s cities. It was a social space, a shelter turned inside-out which became a playground and place to be for anyone who wished to stay.
