In the play “So lang ich lebe, lebt Gerechtigkeit.” (“As long as I live, justice lives.”) there is the foreboding of a youth who sees the social tipping point coming.

One actress in black vinyl pants stands with her arms raised near a microphone at the head of a triangular formation of about nine other actresses with their arms out to her left and right.

Based on Walter Hasenclever's expressionistic adaptation of Sophocles' tragedy “Antigone” rom 1916, the play “So lang ich lebe, lebt Gerechtigkeit.” uses Greek mythology to address rational and emotional, human behavior patterns in all their radicality and inevitability: myth meets present. The examination of the material from a youthful perspective with all the doubts and insecurities, the rage at the existing, their self-deprivation and the urge for change, interweaves with the seemingly hopeless spiral of injustice and violence in the world.
