And then we surround the little country with burning mirrors, so that there is no more winter and we distill ourselves up to Ischia and Capri in the summer...

What if, at the end of one's life, one had the chance to go back one more time, a second chance, so to speak, to send the decrepit society, which only tries to dispel its terrible boredom, to hell...

My head is an empty dance hall. The last dancers have removed their masks and look at each other with dead-weary eyes.
Georg Büchner

Does the Other even exist anymore? Is there a place where beauty is possible?

How a voice has sounded in my deepest inner being, And suddenly swallowed up all my memories!
Adalbert von Chamisso

So dream blissfully and let me be your blissful dream. Shall we build a theater?
Georg Büchner

A journey into the cosmos of Georg Büchner's language, from old age to youth, from the royal realm of melancholy and boredom to new life, into the comedy of love and the utopia of a free, self-sufficient society.
