The performances in Amsterdam had already sold out and so I had to go to Rotterdam to see Johan Simons’ production of Michel Houellebecq’s novel Platform. Since I couldn’t leave early from work, this meant eating a pasta salad and a bread roll on the train from Amsterdam to Rotterdam and stuffing myself with French fries from McDonald’s on my way to the theatre. An appropriate start to see the performance.
