Summary: "Das Liebeskonzil: Eine Himmels-Tragödie in fünf Aufzügen" by Oskar Panizza is a dramatic work written in the late 19th century. This play presents a satirical portrayal of divine figures in a heavenly council discussing humanity's sin and moral decay, particularly in relation to sexuality and lust. Within this setting, the main characters include God, Christ, and the Devil, among a host of angels and historical figures, as they contemplate the growing depravity of humanity. The opening of the play introduces a whimsical yet serious atmosphere in Heaven, where three angels gossip about their lack of leisure due to the "difficulties" of divine oversight. As they prepare for the arrival of God, a sense of foreboding emerges regarding humanity's sins. When God eventually enters, he is depicted as elderly and frail, revealing his discontent with humanity's state. A herald informs God of the rampant immorality in Naples, prompting a council to determine how to address the apparent crisis. This mix of satirical humor and serious themes sets the tone for the play, establishing a foundation for the ensuing discussions about morality, sin, and the nature of divine justice.
