Together with three other guests, you are picked up by a taxi. The seemingly nice, talkative and somewhat frustrated driver takes you to areas of the city that you wouldn't normally go to.
He has something he would like to show you ... There are people who feel that the state has taken away our freedom and enslaved us all. The state that can't even take responsibility for our safety and our freedom. In TAXI DRIVERS, the driver talks about the customers he has encountered, about his powerlessness and the feeling of futility. But he has not given up, on the contrary, he has taken matters into his own hands. He wants to take action and get rid of the rubbish, he just doesn't know how. But maybe it's on this journey with you that he makes a difference - and he's not alone, because maybe you feel the same way he does... In the new, immersive production by Danish collective Fix+Foxy, Düsseldorf becomes the backdrop for a road trip that confronts every passenger with their own potential for radicalisation and opens their eyes to increasing social inequality. What can make you angry? And perhaps more importantly, how do you deal with this anger?
Fix+Foxy have been producing theatre pieces, performance art and immersive installations for 20 years. At the asphalt Festival 2025, they wowed audiences with "A Doll's House", an adaptation of Ibsen's "Nora" in private flats in Düsseldorf, and in 2022 with their multi-award-winning western "Dark Noon". asphalt will continue its collaboration with Denmark's most successful independent theatre group in the coming years.
