DER GROSSE VERHAU

In 1971, Kluge presented Der Große Verhau (The Big Mess) in Venice, a science-fiction work in which he transferred the contemporary sense of chaos into a future society. In the first century of the third millennium, a galactic civil war is raging between governments, industrial giants and space pirates. Der Große Verhau features space captain Douglas, the pirate couple Sterr, a space admiral and countless other characters trying to eke out a living in the cosmos. But whenever they get anywhere, they find they've been beaten to it by monopolist enterprises.
