Above the bright world, below the dark: Even on the way through the city, there are cave entrances everywhere, on the path of love, on the path of justice, on the path of play. Those who live, live with images, with stories that are once again composed of images. Man and woman, a lifetime in search of themselves. The images that Botho Strauss creates, the scenes he narrates, are graffiti from the depths of dreams. And just like in a dream, the reader suddenly recognizes their own face in what appears so enigmatic. Botho Strauss explores our present and ancient world of images, deciphering the script on the cave walls of the night.
