The wickedly humorous comedy "The Night of the Cannibals" by Stephan Eckel takes place in a seemingly idyllic village somewhere in Austria.
Everything is perfectly prepared: The jury of the "Our Most Beautiful Village" competition has announced its arrival, and every corner is impeccable, accurate, and in flawless condition. Victory seems just a matter of time – until unexpected events abruptly plunge the idyll into chaos. With sharp humor and a satirical bite, Eckel reveals the abysses behind the perfect facade in fast-paced dialogues.
What begins as a harmless provincial farce develops into a wild exchange full of surprises, where no one is safe – neither from revelations nor from the "cannibalistic" sides of human interactions. On stage, Petra Stock, Werner Halbedl, and Tobias Kerschbaumer provide pointed comedy and fast-paced scenes. Under the direction of Peter Faßhuber, a sharply seasoned production emerges, which takes the idiosyncrasies and vanities of a village to task with both charm and ruthlessness. A thrilling theater evening about order, ambition, and the very special human hunger for success.
