Kasimir and Karoline, she actually out for pleasure, he deeply affected and insecure by the loss of his job, let themselves be fuelled by alcohol and mobbing, stupefy themselves and gradually lose sight of each other - literally and figuratively. World economic crisis, beer mood and the rising fascism of the brown hordes: The picture of German society towards the end of the Weimar Republic, as painted by Ödön von Horváth in Kasimir und Karoline, is extremely multi-faceted. Ordinary people are groaning under the explosion of unemployment, the gulf between the social classes is widening and widening. But the play by the Austro-Hungarian writer is also a relationship drama, a sharp analysis of the self-destructive illusions to which the two lovers repeatedly indulge and of their ignorance and blindness to the catastrophe that is becoming ever more apparent. Love is a highly volatile emotion in times of fear of losing one's job and the social decline that comes with it, in the midst of firmly established social norms and rules and a world teetering towards the abyss due to the rise of fascism - this sobering realization is as moving today as it was then.
