»In this virtuosic production, there is a great deal of speaking—and it is done with clarity, precision, and emphasis. […] Through modern artistic means, the staging finds its fitting frame—the weight of the words and the video messages lingers. It is a gripping evening of theatre.«

Brilliant and controversial French novelist Michel Houellebecq’s latest work has surprised many people and gained international critical acclaim. Falk Richter uses the novel’s themes—such as art and the art market, death and euthanasia, fathers and sons, the French provinces and the brutal murder of Michel Houellebecq and his dog – as a springboard for an original piece of theatre articulating the unique atmosphere of Houellebecq’s world.
