"Have you already voted? We have, thank you very much. Tomorrow it will be someone else's turn, but it will take a while until tomorrow." When Donald Trump was elected 45th President of the USA in 2016, Elfriede Jelinek began writing the theatre text "Am Königsweg". It features a series of tragicomic characters: a corrupt king who has made a fortune from property, golf courses and casinos. A blind seer whose eyes bleed in the face of his rise. And many other blind people who are outraged in disbelief while the king creates new conditions. A lot has changed in the world since this text was published. Right-wing ideas have reached the centre of society, even in Germany.
