This famous, yet rarely staged (only once in Czechia) lehrstück is situated in the meat industry, depicting the onset of the economic crisis in Germany of the early 1930s. A text inspired by Schiller and Shakespeare has been significantly reimagined, reinterpreted and even gender-swapped by Dušan D. Pařízek. Pařízek’s close collaborator Stefanie Reinsperger will portray the “meat king and philanthropist” Mauler.
