Erdgeist (Earth-Spirit) A Tragedy in Four Acts

Frank Wedekind's Erdgeist (Earth-Spirit), a tragedy in four acts, is a searing exploration of human nature driven by lust, power, and the destructive forces of desire. The play opens with a prologue that sets a tone of raw carnality and societal critique, immediately drawing the audience into a world where primal instincts clash with the veneer of civilization.
