Guy Cassiers directs one of the great, panoramic novels of the 20th century, Robert Musil’s The man without qualities. Musil’s story is a critical, ironic and at times grotesque depiction of the great Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1913, one year before the onset of the First World War. Humorously yet ruthlessly, Musil lays bare the stirrings of the human soul and the machinery of society and politics. Together, the three parts of this theatre marathon show us a society in crisis; a society which with its underlying problems of identity and sovereignty, sexuality and morality and the battle between symbolic and realistic politics shows many parallels with the state of Europe today.
