Faced with evil, Gottlieb seeks to negotiate his destiny. The whole universe of the play is within his mind. The dark and catastrophic thoughts that cannot be easily removed and that slowly take their place in his mind, along with common sense and the balance that falls apart step by step, all these are the sources that animate the characters of the play. Common sense gains the support of the Choir who becomes a funny collective character. Repeated calls to reason become hilarious and outdated. Evils cannot be stopped by any means, aggression, deception, lying, in fact all capital sins being their characteristic. It creeps into the attic. From where it will descend like a gangrene all over its body (Biedermann's House). To be defeated, they can only be defeated with God's help. The other remedies have no power. But who else needs IT in a modern steel and glass society and where Free Will dominates decision-making. Thinking like this, the whole play would have been a war in Biedermann's mind as he drank his coffee. And in the end he would have gone in search of God (from his mind, his soul!) With the legitimate question: Why did you make me Lord?!. Behind him is Nothing. Using this flashback to my coffee cup (Proust's cupcake!) I would have used "Deus ex machina", and I was disgusted as a director. I preferred to accompany Gottlieb all the way transcending.
