Credits Produced by Jens Sadowski
Summary "Die Schlüssel des Himmelreichs; oder, Sankt Peters Wanderung auf Erden" by August Strindberg is a Märchenspiel (fairy play) written in the early 20th century. This theatrical work consists of five acts that incorporate fantastical elements and features characters from folklore and history such as Saint Peter, Don Quixote, and a smith who finds himself confronted with profound loss. The play explores themes of grief, the search for redemption, and the nature of existence through a blend of comedy and tragedy. The opening of the play sets the stage in a smithy where the grieving smith is lamenting the loss of his children, who have succumbed to the plague. In a dialogue filled with sorrow and longing for his lost family, the smith seeks comfort and answers from a doctor, who is seemingly aloof and philosophical about death. The arrival of Saint Peter introduces a supernatural aspect as he grapples with his identity and purpose on Earth. As the characters prepare for a journey, the tone oscillates between despair, absurdity, and the pursuit of understanding life's mysteries, hinting at deeper allegorical meanings regarding faith, love, and the human condition.
