The world is coming to an end, ominous clouds are gathering. The water floods the entire area, already reaching up to the ankles. On a hill, a building assembled from all sorts of scrap metal, obviously a nightclub, rises out of the water. An inviting light shines inside and somewhere a strong fire burns, promising warmth. In a long queue, whose end is not foreseeable, beings half man half animal line up and want to get in there. Why this masquerade? Is there a costume party going on? Or is it a modern Noah's Ark in which those gathered seek refuge from the forces of nature? Have they dressed up so elaborately because only one pair of the same kind is allowed into this ark at a time? The two bouncers are certainly not easy to get past.
It is probably human nature in the face of existentially threatening problems to develop special creativity, but also to take refuge in egoism and hedonism.
Arche Noah
Die Welt geht unter, unheilverkündende Wolken ziehen auf. Das Wasser überflutet die gesamte Gegend, reicht schon bis zu den Knöcheln. Auf einer Anhöhe ragt ein aus allen möglichen Schrottteilen zusammengebautes Gebäude, offensichtlich ein Nachtclub, aus dem Wasser heraus. Ein einladendes Licht leuchtet im Inneren und irgendwo brennt ein starkes Feuer, dass Wärme verspricht. In einer langen Schlange, deren Ende nicht absehbar ist, reihen sich Wesen halb Mensch halb Tier aneinander und wollen dort hinein. Warum diese Maskerade? Ist eine Kostümparty in Gange? Oder ist es eine moderne Arche Noah in der die Versammelten Zuflucht vor den Naturgewalten suchen? Haben sie sich so aufwendig verkleidet, weil auch in diese Arche nur immer ein Paar der gleichen Art Eintritt gewährt wird? An den beiden Türstehern ist sicher kein leichtes Vorbeikommen.
Es liegt wohl in der menschlichen Natur angesichts existentiell bedrohlicher Probleme, besondere Kreativität zu entfalten, aber auch in Egoismus und Hedonismus zu flüchten.
