The House of the Republic

a performative foundation of the state

It could be so nice. Here in the pastel-colored dwarf state, all is still right with the world. Together we are building the seat of government, which of course belongs to all of us. More fun and games, more solidarity, more equality. No inhumane conditions. Just do it again! But the political situation in the rest of the world is not so easy to ignore. Does the rise of right-wing populist ideas perhaps have something to do with us? With childlike naivety and cynicism, the two protagonists go in search of a personal way of dealing with the political situation in the world. Between anger and vulnerability, just like a good punk song.
