Martin McDonagh German by Martin Molitor and Christian Seltmann
Director Lucia Bihler translates this iconic parable into a series of transformation phases that address questions about loneliness, loss of trust, powerlessness and the urge to survive in today's world. In this way, she approaches the story of the modern prodigy Franz Kafka, who was born in Prague in 1883 and died in Kierling, near Vienna, in 1924, a century ago, in a pictorial, very physical way.
Goethe wrote the first version of his humanistic drama as a secret legion councilor on a trip to recruit recruits for the Weimar army. Even today, his call for dialogue and justice is far removed from everyday political reality. But Goethe suggests how the world-determining pendulum movement between murder and retaliation could be ended and counters the cycle of violence with the possibility of a processual change in the world.

Der eigenbrötlerische Provinzbürger Adam verhindert gerade rechtzeitig, dass sich die unbekannte Eva in einem Teich das Leben nimmt. Er bringt sie ins Automatenbüfett, ein von seiner Gattin geführtes Restaurant, wo Speisen, Getränke und auch Musik auf Knopfdruck bestellt werden können. Unter der strengen Obhut Frau Adams treffen sich hier die Honoratioren der Stadt. Die Fremde entfacht sogleich die Fantasie der Männerrunde, und so wird es mit Evas Unterstützung für Adam ein leichtes Spiel, seine visionären Pläne zum Aufbau der Fischzucht-Industrie umzusetzen
