Der jüngste Tag: Ein groteskes Spiel
Produced by Jens Sadowski
"Der jüngste Tag: Ein groteskes Spiel" by Leo Matthias is a play written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. This theatrical work navigates complex themes of identity, morality, and human relationships, presenting a tense and layered narrative that unfolds through the interactions of its characters. The setting captures a blend of societal critique and personal turmoil, reflecting the anxieties of the era. The story revolves around the characters Rainer, Jeanne, Gonn, and Yges, weaving a rich tapestry of emotional and ethical struggles. Rainer grapples with his feelings for Jeanne, who is married to Yges, while Gonn serves as a manipulative force encouraging rivalry and tension between them. As the plot unfolds, it is revealed that Rainer has made a damaging wager with Yges that threatens his integrity and personal freedom. The dynamics intensify when secrets come to light and tragic circumstances arise, leading to a dramatic climax that forces characters to confront their true selves and relationships.
