Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän

In the organizer's words:

Nominated for the Cologne Theater Prize 2024.

It rains endless torrents, a landslide threatens to bury the entire village. In his remote hut in the valley, Mr. Geiser tries to save the knowledge of mankind. From encyclopaedias, the Bible and history books, he copies down what must not be forgotten, while his memory dwindles more and more. Max Frisch's last, experimental story is dedicated to the awareness of the limitations of human life in the face of the infinite dimensions of the universe and evolutionary history. With an actor and a chorus of five actors, Ronny Miersch will transform Frisch's story into a poetic, musical, playful and existentially moving stage event.

"Only man knows catastrophes, provided he survives them; nature knows no catastrophes."
