Der Komet
7 D, 4 H
UA: 09.09.2012 · Akademietheater, Wien · Directed by: Roland Schimmelpfennig in Zusammenarbeit mit Justine del Corte
A comet, and under it a blissful bridal couple. Around them exuberant and happy people. A hot summer’s day full of a vibrating desire for happiness. A happy party in the countryside. Careful!
Ten years after her wedding, Elisabeth asks herself if you can hold on to happiness. And she tries: the party is repeated. And because happiness according to Elisabeth isn’t very flexible, the same guests must wear the same clothes while having the same conversations in the same places. This should equal the same happiness. It’s not clear if the mistakes that happened at the time also contributed to the happiness. And it’s difficult to say, for no one apart from the involved parties knew about them till now. And because it’s actually every man for himself anyhow, the partygoers say goodbye to the success of this experiment after some initial euphoria. More and more drunk and disinhibited, they start searching for what their own happiness could mean.
