Since 2002, the artists Christian Egger, Christian Kosmas Mayer, Yves Mettler, Magda Tóthová, Ruth Weismann and Alexander Wolff have been producing a magazine as an independent, international publication on contemporary art, theory and society. The play "One Hour and a Half in the Life of Ztscrpt" once again shows the protagonists slipping into self-reflexive dark zones and addresses the increasing pressure for representation in all areas of social life.
The play pretends to report on the personal lifes of the editors, reminiscent of Pollesch pieces in slow motion, or all-too-well-known anecdotes from Andy Warhol's Factory, or even worse, the simple plot of a sequel of the TV series "Friends." The interests are increasingly diverging, one of the editors wants to merge the magazine with a street newspaper which she is working for. Another member only wants his own art projects illustrated and presented. The initial joy in conversation and discussion which once united the group has given way to frantic project talk, which is becoming increasingly difficult for some participants due to excessive drug and alcohol consumption and blatant ego-boosting.
