Libussa / Trauerspiel in fünf Aufzügen

A five-act tragic drama follows a legendary seer-queen whose private longings conflict with the demands of public office; after a mysterious disappearance and ominous signs, political factions vie for influence while the heroine must reckon with prophetic duty and make painful choices for the community's stability. The action moves between intimate domestic scenes, ritual and divinatory moments, and public deliberation, exploring tensions between fate and autonomy, individual desire and collective responsibility. Recurrent concerns include the legitimacy of authority, the moral costs of leadership, and the sacrifice required when personal happiness is subordinated to the common good.
