Kasimir und Karoline und der Tanz mit dem Tod
Theatre

«Twenty captains of industry are flying overhead, while millions are starving below». Kasimir, who lost his job as a chauffeur that morning, watches the Zeppelin fly by with a frown, while Karoline wants to enjoy herself at the Oktoberfest. In 117 scenes, Horváth describes how the couple's love is shattered by social conditions. In Karin Henkel's production, Kasimir and Karoline meet another tragic figure from Horváth's universe: Elisabeth from ‹Glaube Liebe Hoffnung› has given up on life before it could even begin. Her story is based on a real court case that Horváth wrote about together with court reporter Lukas Kristl.
