"The Double Bass"

The play is set in the late 70s and early 80s of the 20th century.
The content can be divided into three sections:
1. self-deception through the excessive praise of the double bass.
2. the striptease of the double bass player's soul in connection with his alcohol consumption.
3. the pseudo-solution through the cry with the open ending.
At the center of all three parts is the isolation of a mediocre musician. He tries in vain to escape his life situation. However, thoughts of escape and wishes for change turn out to be unrealizable. The double bass player is far too adapted to his existence to be able to change his life for the better.
A love-hate relationship binds him to his instrument. This ambivalent relationship illustrates his socially conformist life on the one hand and his deep sadness and anger about it on the other.
Added to this is his secret and unrequited love for the soprano Sarah. This love makes the musician even more melancholy and causes him to hate his instrument, which is said to be partly to blame for his unfulfilled love.
He sees himself as a misunderstood genius and tries to justify his actual life in this monologue.
