In the organizer's words:

Or: Instructions on how to become a fool!

(by G. Büchner)

"Why do I of all people have to know?" - The young Prince Leonce sees through the hollowness of established busybodies. "To become a useful member of society?" No way! Fortunately, he meets the bon vivant Valerio, who teaches him the art of being a fool. It's obvious: only as a fool can you confront the foolishness of the world. When he is also asked to marry a total stranger's princess, he decides to flee. On the way, he meets Lena - a young woman who has also thrown everything away to escape her predetermined fate. Both are amazed: is there a voice that answers? This is how two young people meet, who see through the world with a sober eye, but are foolish enough to believe in utopias.

Hardly anyone saw the contradictions of his time as clearly as the young Georg Büchner. He saw man as an unfree being, oppressed by poverty, tyranny and dark impulses. Persecuted by the police and plagued by illness, Büchner wrote a light, bright comedy in exile: a puppet play, a fool's play that mocks horror.
