»That was the escape to paradise. I am deceived.« Between lightness, humor and variety, Georg Büchner raises the big questions of the meaning of human existence in his play. The figures trudge through their everyday lives, bored and unmotivated. Staggering lustfully, loving anxiously, his characters strive for a moment of real freedom between world-weariness and boredom. The "Lustspiel" takes place in an distopian place, an abandoned swimming pool.
