The cunning romantic Puccini has chased HAUEN∙UND∙STECHEN deep into his sentimental labyrinth of love and violence. The princes are dead, the limbs are heavy and the eyes are soapy with melancholy. But who needs a clear view of a place in which everything gets too close to you? With the conclusion of their Puccini series the collective takes revenge on lost illusions: the shot-down swallows lay like stones on the ground. They persevere in order to become a barricade in this decisive battle.
