The Fog of Dybern

Description

The population of Dybern is doing well because the large factory in the city provides jobs and prosperity for the people. But when one day a mysterious fog rises at the edge of the city, animals and soon the first humans begin to die, the people are puzzled about the cause: Is it a divine test, an epidemic, or even a man-made disaster? Soon, the events escalate. While workers and children fear for their lives, flee, and seek protection, the city's elites must not lose control. Because control over information and the population must be maintained at all costs. If necessary, with the help of the military. In her 1932 drama, Maria Lazar dissects the chronology of a catastrophe. Like a thriller, she atmospherically and oppressively depicts the price that the majority of people and nature must pay for the hubris, greed for profit, and unscrupulousness of a few. Together with her team, director and visual artist Philipp Preuss stages the work of the recently rediscovered writer.
