Lissabon, 1. November 1755. Ein verheerendes Erdbeben und eine darauffolgende riesige Tsunamiwelle zerstörten die portugiesische Hauptstadt fast vollständig. Die Katastrophe erschütterte auch das aufgeklärte Weltbild der europäischen Intellektuellen. Noch Jahrzehnte später stritten sich die Philosophen: Kann es angesichts dieser Tragödie und des  unermesslichen Leids der Menschen einen allmächtigen und allgütigen Gott geben? Auch Heinrich von Kleist beteiligte sich an dieser Debatte. In seiner Novelle Das Erdbeben in Chili zeichnete er ein düsteres Bild der Menschheit. Regiert doch nur der Zufall? Der Schauspieler Ulrich Matthes, in Bregenz zuletzt als Don Quijote, diesen Sommer in Kleists Der zerbrochne Krug zu erleben, nimmt sich dieses eiskalt und in emotionaler Distanz geschriebenen Textes an.

Lisbon, 1 November 1755. A disastrous earthquake and the massive tsunami following it almost destroyed the Portuguese capital. The catastrophe also shattered the rational worldview of European intellectuals. Decades later, philosophers still argue whether there can be an almighty and omnibenevolent god in view of this tragedy and the immeasurable pain of the people. Heinrich von Kleist also got involved in the discussion. In his novella The Earthquake in Chile, he paints a grim picture of humanity. Is everything just coincidence? Actor Ulrich Matthes, who some may remember from his last performance as Don Quijote, now returns to Bregenz for the stone cold and emotionally distant text The Broken Jug.
