In this play, Christian Lollike takes Karlheinz Stockhausen’s famous quote as his starting point: “The terror attack on WTC in 2001 was the greatest and most ultimate work of art at any time”. A choir consisting of four rootless youngsters discuss this piece of art, a.k.a. 9/11, and the subsequent reactions of the western world. This is a sharp, analytic civilization critique with hair raising descriptions of terror and references to happenings and Hollywood-pictures. This play is about terror, faith and youth – however, it doesn’t romanticize terrorism. On the other hand, it questions whether or not the western world creates the terrorists itself?
