Inferno

Written by August Strindberg

Narrated by Friedrich Frieden

Auf der Suche nach den großen Antworten des Seins, des Lebens und aller Existenz erforscht der Ich-Erzähler wissenschaftliche und religiöse Disziplinen, prominente und weniger bekannte Teilgebiete derselbigen und stößt kontinuierlich auf unerklärliche Wunder und faszinierende Rätsel. Dämonen manifestieren sich, Ängste brechen aus, Erklärungen werden im Mantel dieser und jener Fachbereiche formuliert. Gleichzeitig versucht er Gold zu produzieren. Ist es Schicksal, dass sich mysteriöse Ereignisse in regelmäßigen Abständen ereignen oder nur eine Aneinanderreihung unbedeutender Zufälle? Haben unerklärliche Mächte Ihre unsichtbaren Hände im Spiel und wenn ja welche und warum? Auf einer waghalsigen Odyssee durch psychische Abgründe, okkulte Theorien, wissenschaftliche Fakten und religiöse Dogmen findet Strindberg schließlich befriedigende Antworten – Wohl bekomms! Nichts für schwache Nerven!

August Strindberg

Renowned Swedish writer, playwright and painter August Strindberg is known as one of the fathers of modern theatre. Born in Sweden in 1849, August Strindberg was raised in poverty. A multi-faceted artist given to extremes, he battled depression and emotional turmoils throughout his life. Strindberg was actively involved in the trade union movement and was especially admired by the working class of his time as a radical writer who zealously attacked social ills and hypocrisies in his work. After Strindberg was overlooked by the Swedish Academy for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1909, a grass-roots petition campaign was launched in protest, which resulted in a large sum of money raised to compensate the cherished writer. Strindberg’s early plays were written in the Naturalistic style, the best known of which is Miss Julie, one of the most studied and performed dramas in the world to this day. When he broke with Naturalism, the versatile Strindberg found equal success in producing works informed by Symbolism. He proceeded to become one of the pioneers of the modern European stage and Expressionism. Strindberg’s most engaging dramas deal with the constant and consuming battle for power between the sexes, bound together in perverse and complex relationships in which desire is mingled with scorn, and negotiated within the strictures imposed on class and gender roles by social conventions. Strindberg continued to write of the alienated modern man, who is desperate and alone in a forsaken universe, until his death in 1912.
