The engineer Walter Faber alias "Homo faber" (the creative human) is an analytically thinking mathematician who explains the world through facts and clear structures and does not believe in coincidences. It is this sober Faber who finds himself caught in a whirlpool of fateful events. During a ship passage from New York to Europe, he falls in love with the much younger Sabeth. The cheerful travel companion reminds him of Hanna, his first love. For Sabeth as well, the shared journey becomes a fateful encounter with her own identity.



Max Frisch processes, in his novel published in 1957, which became a bestseller, alongside autobiographical elements, central core themes of his work: the conflict between personal identity and social role, the determination of existence by chance or fate, the failed relationship between the sexes, and the unfulfilled life. The focus is on the contrast between technology and nature and myth.



Max Frisch's work is one of the cornerstones of the Salzburg playbill. For the new production on the stage of the Landestheater, a stage version is being created by director Susanne Frieling, who examines Frisch's grand text from a female perspective and in regard to our belief in the power of the rational.



Max Frisch (1911–1991) reached a wide audience with his plays such as "Biedermann and the Arsonists" or "Andorra" as well as with his three major novels "Stiller," "Homo faber," and "My Name be Gantenbein," and found a place in the school canon. At the center of his work is the engagement with oneself, whereby many of the issues raised are considered typical for the postmodern individual, especially in the construction of one's own biography.
