Dear Austrians,

Nations and the nation-states built upon them are an historical invention.
An invention of the bourgeoisie.
Invented by it for the purpose of enforcing its own political and economic interests.
And the same goes for you, dear Austrians:
Invented for the purpose of enforcing political and economic interests.
Get the feel of that.
Sing along with us!

A play for a performing artist, a choir, a Viennese electronic DJ, and a pop culturalist.
