A paradisiacal parable. Paul Jandl in the NZZ. Ingo Schulze tells the story of late summer 1989 and uncovers the human primal history of prohibition and temptation, love and knowledge during the time of change. In his play with the biblical myth of Adam and Eve, he creates a grand tragicomedy. The women love Adam because he tailors beautiful dresses for them. And Adam loves beautiful women. Apart from that, he loves Evelyn. However, she catches him in the act on a hot August day in 1989. Instead of going with Adam, Evelyn heads to Balaton with a friend and her cousin from the West. Meanwhile, Adam follows in his old Wartburg. Hungary wants to open the border to the West. Suddenly, paradise is within reach - and everyone must make a choice.
