Der geheimnisvolle Fremde

In the organizer's words:

It is the year 1590 in the sleepy village of "Eselsdorf", where Theodor, Nikolaus and Seppi live. One day, a stranger turns up and befriends the youngsters. He reveals himself to be an angel. His name? Satan!

The mysterious stranger is a fascinating story full of abysses, a story about the moral arrogance of man, who believes himself to be the crown of creation and therefore commits the worst atrocities. A thought-provoking play about morality and the meaning of life, a plea for life and against the hope of an afterlife. Martina van Boxen stages this dark, fairytale-like story by Mark Twain, which was only published after his death
