Another catastrophy? Or even more catastrophic?

Goethe’s Die Wahlverwandtschaften - a novel that studies the relations between a husband and wife, Eduard and Charlotte, his friend, and her cousin, who move in with the couple - is maybe best described as a 19th century version of Temptation Island. Together with Lineke Rijxman, de KOE starts a new experiment: what remains of reason, desire, the so-called laws of nature, now that we have imposed our laws on nature?
