In June 1808, the first version of Heinrich von Kleist's world-famous story was published, which tells the story of one of the "most righteous and at the same time most horrible human beings of his time". Criminal, troublemaker or just a man striving for justice? How can the story be understood then and now? And how do we exhibit the written word?

The exhibition searches for answers, experimenting with the narrative between installations, objects and AI, but also with the museum itself.
