Stage director and stage director Leopold Huber has made Max Frisch's play entertaining and entertaining in the summer. a beautiful natural setting. With full – minded effects and a small professional ensemble, Burgtheater Lake tells the story of an impassive man, blind to the growing danger.

The play about the scary citizen in a world of conflagration, the knowledge of his own world. Responsible repression and the path of least resistance, even 60 years after its first all-new, wrote Lake Burgtheater after the first. "We have the house today full of incendiaries, be it Trump, Erdogan or Orban," quotes the director.

Gottlieb Biedermann (Adrian Furrer) is a fair and decent man and a bit silly. The hair-water maker takes in his pink house home on two dubious men who have just been released from prison. Schmitz (Hans-Caspar Gattiker) and Eisenring (Andrej Reimann) sleep in the attic, but take advantage of all the conveniences of the Biedermann hearth

Blind against the flaming danger

Men smoke cigars with the host and take care of it. (Maria Lisa Huber) Serve wine and sausage. That they are incendiaries, the two tramps are not hiding. But Biedermann gives himself generously. He believes a joke, although the former wrestler and the failed server in the attic store barrels of gasoline and handle rockets and detonators.

Babette (Astrid Keller), Biedermann's sick woman, finds it scary and wants to get rid of uninvited guests. Biedermann also becomes suspicious. But to put the intruders at the door, the just commoner lacks courage. He rather protects his face and remains friendly. At a dinner with a table in white, silverware and candle, Biedermann rubs with incendiaries and even gives them the necessary matches

At the end of the two-hour piece, the beautiful Biedermann's little house ignites. The city explodes, which seems very impressive in front of the dark background of Lake Constance.

The firefighters with their flashing lights and sirens in the old fire truck can no longer counter the disaster. The seven firefighters are anyway in the room only ornamental props, but warn again and again with songs, but do nothing against the arsonists.
