Faith Love Hope (Glaube Liebe Hoffnung)
A Little Dance of Death in Five Acts
by Ödön von Horváth and Lukas Kristl
Full of hope, young Elisabeth tries to make her fortune in times of unemployment and recession. To obtain the necessary money for her trade licence as a saleswoman, she plans to sell her corpse to the Anatomical Institute during her lifetime. A taxidermist gives her a loan, but later reports Elisabeth when he learns that his loan was used to pay a previous fine: for trading without a licence. Elisabeth goes to jail, a stay that causes the break-up of her love affair with a policeman. Alone again, with no work or money, she tries to drown herself. – Jürgen Kruse and his ensemble throw themselves into this “gigantic struggle between the individual and society, this eternal battle in which no peace can be found – at most, an individual may enjoy the illusion of an armistice for a few moments”. (Ödön von Horváth).
