Rois, Schönborn • based on Pedro Calderón de la Barca
In a book I once read the sentence: “It is not the way of heaven to hold one's head high.” It would be good if everyone knew about this sentence, which speaks of the naughtiness of heaven. Oh no, it really isn't his style to look down, to give signs to the confused beneath him. At least not when such a dark drama is taking place in which he, this imaginary above, also plays a role. Father and son.

ause there is no clear word for this dark matter; As soon as you think about it, you lose your mind. Dark thing: For there was my seed, indefinable and unknown to myself, and then the blood of its mother, in which the child was nourished and which accompanied the birth, all together a dark thing. This confusion. This wasteland. If there is a calculation, it will work out in my favor. Leaving the race, coming to an end, an end, that's just how it should come."
(Ingeborg Bachmann)
SIGISMUND: I am increasingly convinced that man is an unhappy animal.
"Our civilization suffers from vital exhaustion. In seventeenth-century Spain, when the hunger for life was great, the official culture emphasized the denial of lusts and the flesh. It constantly reminded that earthly life offered only imperfect pleasures and God is the only true source of happiness. Such a discourse is no longer accepted today. We need adventure and eroticism because we constantly have to convince ourselves that life is wonderful and exciting, and of course we have our doubts about that.
Okay, being harnessed to the wheel and quartered at the Inquisition won't have been pleasant. But you bit the dust knowing that the whole thing was about something. We can no longer return to this happy state today."
