{"product_id":"o-futuro-e-o-mal","title":"The future is Evil","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"403\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eA bleak and fragmented vision of history: power and the human condition. Published already at the end of his life, the text follows the experimental logic that characterizes much of his writing: poetic images and abrupt cuts, where the discourse is as important as the \"scene\". In this edition, some interviews too. Lucidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"997\" data-start=\"405\"\u003eThe text (or the play, or the essay) does not follow a linear narrative. It seems more like a collision of fragments, monologues and dialogues. The language is laden with historical and cultural references, going from mythology to the totalitarianism of the 20th century, anticipating the 21st Century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"997\" data-start=\"405\"\u003eThe title, \u003cem data-end=\"855\" data-start=\"837\"\u003eThe Future is Evil\u003c\/em\u003e, is a warning: the idea of the future, colonized by ideologies or hermetic utopias, becomes an instrument of oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1204\" data-start=\"999\"\u003eIt is an uncomfortable work rather than a comforting one. Bad for bad, if you are looking for comfort, skip this book.

He is often described as “the most important German-language author after Brecht”. I am not given to hyperboles. But he is the one I turn to when I need a dose of lucidity in the midst of catastrophe. And it is \"his\" one of my greatest regrets: never having been able to see, live, any play staged by him.
