Casimir and Caroline and the dance with death

Ballad full of quiet sadness with humor

"Twenty captains of industry are flying overhead and millions are starving down below". Kasimir, who has lost his job as a chauffeur in the morning, looks after the zeppelin in displeasure, while Karoline wants to have fun at the Oktoberfest. In one hundred and seventeen scenes, Horváth describes how the couple's love is shattered by their social circumstances. In Karin Henkel's production, Kasimir and Karoline meet another tragedy from the Horváth cosmos: Elisabeth from 'Glaube Liebe Hoffnung' has finished with life before it could begin. Her story is based on a true legal case that Horváth wrote down together with court reporter Lukas Kristl.
