THE VINETA REPUBLIC

Five leading managers have withdrawn for a secret planning summit. In a remote villa, they work on their project “Vineta,” a new city, and on a “theme park of lost dreams,” both to be constructed on an uninhabited island. They encounter insuperable ideological differences, and an unrestrained power struggle breaks out, going as far as planning a murder. This, however, is just the beginning of a whole chain of tragicomic developments. “Since Dürrenmatt, no one has grasped farce as truth and truth as farce quite like Rinke has – and understood theatre as a medium in which illusion and its revocation constantly determine each other.” (Frankfurter Rundschau)
