Donkeys, dogs, cats and chickens, all without prospects, exploited and beaten or having fled, join forces, try to form a band - and hope for a better life. The troupe becomes a community against capitalist exploitation, the animals declare war on the superiority of Homo sapiens... But isn't violence a solution?
Martin Heckmanns' exuberant fantasy of upheaval celebrates exuberance, contradictions and confrontation in a time characterized by fear. The author gives the animals voices and songs and puts their rulers in need of explanation. And finally, in visions of a good death, he finds hope for a liberated coexistence.
Directed by Regine Effinger & Hans Poeschl
