The First Humans

In “Die ersten Menschen”, the Bible story of the fratricide of Kajin (Cain) and Chabel (Abel) is presented from a different perspective. In the context of the first family on earth, Adahm (Adam) is concerned with cultivating the land, while Chawa (Eve) longs for the spring of her life and the younger, more passionate Adahm. Sons Kajin and Chabel have very different views on life. While Chabel is devoted to God and religious life, Kajin feels united with nature, and is in search of sensual satisfaction and "das wilde, wilde Weib" ("the wild, wild woman").
