In the organizer's words:

SCHAUSPIEL

Small House

by Elfriede Jelinek
Director: Christiane Pohle

The sun speaks, the air too. They are raging, you could say, because the world is in crisis. The mountain glaciers are melting, the sky is smoking, our skin is burning and the cars in the streets are burning too. The climate - a catastrophe. In her play, Elfriede Jelinek portrays the state of nature and people, the conditions of the elements and the chain of violence and consumption: sometimes with divine grandeur, sometimes with burning rage or with bitter comedy, but always with great urgency. In the first part, the sun leads a monologue and in the second part, the air develops polyphonic thoughts: "But who stimulated the first movement, who gave the first kick to the now racing top?" This time, director Christiane Pohle raises the curtain on Jelinek's fantasy of a (radiant) end of the world.
