As Plato predicted, democracy has meanwhile turned into tyranny. As a counter-reaction to rational bourgeois democracy, the irrational is booming. In combination with increased faith in science and the new orientation category “opinion”, a concoction has been created that has given birth to a new myth: the future man, who constructs himself from the genetic reproduction of biomass and projections of consciousness.
“Lachesis” poaches completely unabashedly in the realm of pop-cultural myths, science fiction and Hollywood cinema, thus opening up the playful space of a political contemporary theatre.

Based on a libretto by Hermann Schneider
