We

The future is made of glass: welcome to the "single state".

What happens when the age-old dream of paradise comes true, but freedom and individuality are the price? In this gripping production based on the novel by Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin, you are immersed in a world in which happiness is calculated mathematically. Feelings such as love or jealousy have been overcome, people are just numbers and every step is strictly regulated.

Between order and awakening The designer D-503 lives proudly in this system of synchronisation - until he meets I-330. She leads him behind the green wall, awakens unknown sensations and sparks a longing that has no place in the perfect order of the One State. D-503 gets caught up in a dangerous maelstrom that threatens not only his life, but the entire foundation of the state.

A milestone in world literature Zamyatin's work was written as early as 1920 and is regarded as the original dystopia. Without "We", classics such as Huxley's Brave New World or Orwell's 1984 would have been unthinkable. The Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theatre brings this visionary material to the stage as a live radio play - an acoustically and atmospherically dense experience.
