In the organizer's words:

by Arthur Miller
in a translation by Volker Schlöndorff

Life lies, performance thinking in a turbo-capitalist world that has gone off the rails.

Death of a Salesman, first performed in New York on February 10, 1949, is experiencing a renaissance. Volker Schlöndorff used the successful 1984 Broadway production of the play starring Dustin Hoffman as the basis for his film adaptation. The failure of the salesman Willy Loman due to an inhumane economic system and his personal life lie stands today for the failure of a social order. The disorientation of an entire culture, robbed of its belief in eternal progress and denied the opportunity to build on the traditions and lifestyles of earlier times, is reflected in the fate of Willy Loman and his family. The absurdity of Loman's suicide, who tries to save the appearance of happiness and only finds himself once by extinguishing himself, is to be understood as an appeal to the individual and society to develop meaningful values and humane ways of life. Theater Impuls is performing this family drama as the fourth and final part of the "Tetralogy of Good and Evil".
