What's it about?

SALZBURG PREMIERE for the 95th birthday of Thomas Bernhard by Cassandra Rühmling Will the Titanic be raised? Does Immanuel Kant conquer the New World? And what does this have to do with a lantern festival? On the occasion of the 95th birthday of the great poet Thomas Bernhard, we present his grotesque theatrical comedy "Immanuel Kant" in the setting of a traditional coffeehouse. Join us on a mental voyage where pure spirit clashes with the zeitgeist of our present. Old values meet new valuations. Like Thomas Bernhard, Immanuel Kant fights against the unwillingness to understand. It is almost frightening how much Bernhard seems to speak directly through his main character. The categorical imperative stands against the categorical subjunctive. When everyone knows that things cannot go on like this, there is only one slogan: full speed ahead! "The world is what I think of it."
