He and she. An enchantingly playful and airy story of two aristocratic lovers, who are surprised by a simple happy ending.
Leonce and Lena. He and she. It is a compelling tricksy and passionate story of love of young prince and beautiful princess who are surprised with happy ending. Their love is born in fairy-tale surrounding, but reality they live in, is very plight, spoilt and banal. There are introduced prewritten number of funny conventional figures marching on the chessboard according to etiquette and laws of powerful or adaptable.
There is no better way how to offence oneself against adult’s hypocrisy as with creative boredom and anarchic philosophy. There is no better way how to protest against grotesque convention as with free run away to crazy poetry. Who else have the right to demonstrate their concrete life feeling in the middle of nonsense as brand new lovers?
Leonce and Lena. This play resists the laws of all genres. It was written by German post romantic Georg Büchner (1813-1837). He was almost twenty-five, when tired with life and played out with typhus left this prosaic world. In spite of that fact he left behind some masterpieces (Danton’s Death; Woyzeck; Lenz), which are adopted by new and new generations of artists and audience. The reason is maybe hidden in the wish of staying young forever. It can happen thanks to the fairy-tale which is dedicated to neither children nor old in soul. It is dedicated to you.
