The so-called "Tocqueville Paradox," which Alexis de Tocqueville developed in 1835 in his book "Democracy in America," states that the anger towards and resistance against privileges and injustice increases the more the injustices themselves decrease. If there is nothing but injustice everywhere, according to the inventor of modern political science, then individual inequality goes unnoticed, while in a situation of extreme equality, even the slightest deviation is unbearable.
In the parents' council of the progressive private school where Jonathan Spector's play takes place, they work hard day in and day out to make even the last differences visible and to make them disappear. Everyone should feel welcome, heard, and seen at this school for a better life. When the committee is confronted with a decree from the school authority during an outbreak of a mumps epidemic, stating that only vaccinated students may participate in classes from then on, the well-rehearsed consensus democracy gets into turmoil.

Jonathan Spector's tragicomedy, which was created in 2018, drives all the irreconcilable differences of recent years to the extreme and reveals the pressing questions behind them: What do we understand by democracy? How do we want to make decisions? What opportunities for participation and inclusion should there be? Do the interests of the community have their limits at individual freedom? Or rather the other way around?
