2073: The New Colony
A Speculative Farce with a Script by Helene Thümmel
"Certain goals that were very relevant 50 years ago have been achieved. Whether this was done through purely democratic means is questionable."

183 Members of Parliament
The Final Days of Austria as We Know It

Where do they come from? Who else do they…

A musician improvises the appropriate atmosphere.
The stage is empty,…
