Schöne neue Welt

In the organizer's words:

Community. Uniformity. Consistency.

"Brave New World" is the name Aldous Huxley gave his novel about the future, based on a passage from Shakespeare's Tempest. "Brave New World" or also "Brave New World". How beautiful this future world really is depends on the viewer's point of view. The action takes place in the year of Ford 632, a sharp-tongued play on words that resists translation. In English, where Ford and Lord sound very similar, it becomes much clearer that Ford has taken the place of God, the Lord. After him, after this creator god of the technical world, the brave new world that has emerged counts its years.

Free will? Oh, come on, it has long since been overcome!

Aldous Huxley's novel was written in 1932 and his somewhat gloomy, utopian and also humorous vision of a future society is impressively topical. With the writer's intuition for the future, he wrote a story about a world society that brings itself to the edge of the abyss and creates a new order from these ruins. However, this order - the brave new world - is not a better design in Huxley's work, but rather a new bundle of insane intricacies and rules. But is that really so new? Huxley shows us a world that pays homage to hyper-capitalism. In it, the primacy of economic efficiency and usability, of usefulness, has developed into the all-dominant maxim. Free will has been abolished, society is on a constant, state-ordered drug trip, illness and misfortune are considered obsolete. John, "a savage", stumbles into this world, a stranger, a curious man, a Shakespeare fan who seeks his fortune in a world that is still unknown to him, but which promises him everything. But what can it really offer him? Three wonderful actors and actresses tell the story of a world 600 years away, which is perhaps not so far away, with a lot of situation comedy and fun with visions of the future, because there is no other way to endure what may come.
