Karin Beier, Deutsches SchauSpielHaus - Hysteria. Phantoms of Freedom deu

Inspired by Luis Buñuel, Karin Beier opens the season with a play about a society in the state of fear. A family returns from Asia where they lived as expatriates for a number of years. They plan to celebrate their return with colleagues, friends, and neighbours, but their uncertainty as well as that of their guests is great: Does their return to Germany mark a social descent or an ascent? What kind of country are they returning to? Who are those people out there? And what is it that this new neighbour wants from them?
