»Richter targets the pretentious bourgeois middle class that normalizes the slogans of marches and hate-driven street hunts. His work is an act of liberation, charged with necessary, pent-up rhetorical fury, demonstrating that »Heldenplatz« must exist—because it stands right among us.«

When has the time come to seek shelter and leave the country? Thomas Bernhard’s last and most scandalous theater work is a raging, desperate text about the undead evil spirit of fascism. A work of haunting virulence in times when in Europe right-wing terrorism, antisemitism, and the ostracism of minorities are once again experiencing a frightening boom. Falk Richter compares his analysis of the present with Bernhard’s modern classic work and enquires about those who today are in danger and about their situation.
