Dantons Tod / Iphigenie

In the organizer's words:

"I accustom my eye to blood," writes Georg Büchner as he works on Danton's Death. The French Revolution in the Reign of Terror phase. The Welfare Committee has all opponents of the Revolution executed. Danton wants to stop the killing, Robespierre to continue to enforce the goals of the revolution with the blood rule of the guillotine. Both have blood on their hands. Danton is sacrificed as the loser of the quarrel. At the end of the reign of terror, 40000 people will have been killed - including Robespierre. And Iphigenia? She is to become the first victim of the Trojan War. For the war campaign, which was started out of male vanity, cannot really begin until Agamemnon has sacrificed his daughter. Oliver Frljić combines the two materials and asks: What are we willing to sacrifice and for what?
