The play was written after the great collapse of the New York Stock Exchange in 1929, which brought about, first in the United States and then in Europe, ten years of economic crisis, industrial failures, unemployment, poverty, continuing right up to the Second World War.
Today we are in permacrisis, the centers of production have shifted, the great working masses no longer live in the privileged West and the owners are more difficult to identify, but the exploitation of living beings and ressources has not stopped; on the contrary, it has generated other changes, such as global warming, wars, pandemics — consequences of the same diseased economic system.
ErosAntEros rediscover Bertolt Brecht’s Saint Joan of the Stockyards for future generations. The music was composed especially for the production by the Slovenian cult band Laibach and will be performed live on stage by them in Luxembourg.
