Hans Neuenfels sparked tumultuous debates with his work, making him widely known beyond the theater world. In his final writings, he offers a personal insight into his life and career. Honest and unflinching—especially towards himself—the provocative theater and opera director, artistic director, and author describes living with a chronic illness. For the book, his lifelong friend Elke Heidenreich has written an obituary. "There won't be another like him for a long time (...) He was one of the last to truly create a total work of art. (...) Although Hans Neuenfels often raged and shouted during rehearsals with his smoky voice from many cigarettes, he was a sensitive, humorous man who was often quiet and contemplative in personal encounters." PETER VON BECKER, TAGESSPIEGEL.
