The Good Person of Sezuan

Description

A parable about doing the right thing in the wrong situation. Three gods traverse the earth in search of a good person. They want to prove that it is indeed possible to follow the commandments under the prevailing conditions of the world. However, a general law is revealed through the example of a single life: being good and surviving is almost impossible. Jörg Pohl's production sheds new light on this timeless theme. A play about morality, responsibility, and solidarity in a world still shaped by power and greed. As with ‹Mann ist Mann›, Pohl takes Brecht out of the museum and transforms his parable into a serious theatrical comedy that combines a critical view of the world with great entertainment.
