Karl Kraus's ferocious five-act drama, originally conceived during the First World War, emerges here as a radioplay—a fitting medium for a work that was always more about language's capacity to expose human folly than conventional theatrical spectacle. *Die Letzten Tage Der Menschheit* remains one of the twentieth century's most scathing indictments of war, nationalism, and the machinery of media-fueled propaganda, with Kraus's acidic dialogue cutting through the noise to reveal the absurdity beneath. This ORF production captures the work's relentless momentum across its five acts, from prologue through epilog, letting the power of Kraus's word—biting, allusive, devastatingly funny in its darkness—carry the full weight of his vision. For anyone interested in how Austrian modernism engaged with political catastrophe, or simply in hearing one of Europe's sharpest critics anatomize the age he lived through, this is essential listening.
