Der zerbrochene Krug (HexenBerg Theaterproduktions gGmbH)
Adam, the first of us, humans’ master form. Innocent and naked, much like Adam’s baldness, one comes into the world. We are stained by guilt and in the end, life will come and get us. Not poor Eve, here it is us who are the Fall of Man!
The Jug - the world’s container - has already been broken, just as our own chastity: The ones who plunge into life will inevitably get dirty.
Kleist drags the judge in front of the court, but it is the self-righteous state which is being reflected and therefore assessed. The alleged protagonist in reality only occupies a secondary role, he is merely a corrupt follower in a corrupt system. Kleist ruthlessly exemplifys this in his play. Ultimately, it could hit any one of us.
