Thomas Bernhard's novel focuses on a narrator who observes an "artistic evening party" in Vienna's Gentzgasse from the distance of his wingback chair and dissects it with vicious precision. The assembled crowd waits for the announced arrival of a castle actor; In addition, most of the people in this society are connected to each other because their friend Joana, who died by suicide, was buried in the village of Kilb on the afternoon of the same day.

Thomas Bernhard's famous prose is brought to life in recitative, while the musicians from Franui, among others. will be heard performing a specialty that has made her famous: celebrating funeral marches and funeral music.
