Frieden Frauen Volksversammlung

In the organizer's words:

The gods have left Olympus. They didn't want to watch one more day as humans destroy each other, as they bicker with each other, as everyone is only out for their own advantage. The humans themselves care little. They go about their business, play bad politics, engage in lucrative arms trading and live in constant discord.

The war between Athens and Sparta has been going on for several years now, and the common people are feeling the consequences. Many feel that things cannot go on like this. As always, only a handful of intrepid people have the courage to act. Lysistrata, for example, proposes a sex strike. By refusing, the women should drive out their husbands' aggression. Praxagora, on the other hand, sees an all-female parliament as the solution to all conflicts. Thrygaios decides to fly into the sky on a dung beetle to free the goddess of peace. Finally, Dikaiopolis negotiates an exclusive special peace with the Spartans, all to himself. Whether all these imaginative concepts will lead to success remains to be seen. In any case, they offer plenty of material for hearty comedy and anarchic popular theater.

With a farce of four Aristophanes comedies, the Pfalzbau Bürger Bühne ensemble explores the scope for action that each individual has in the political structure and whether laughter is a suitable means of coping - even when reality hardly seems to offer it. In this production, they are accompanied by singers from the Ludwigshafen Beethoven Choir, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024.
