Program note:
Niemand, so den Schakal gesehn hat, erlebt den nächsten Neumond. Der Schakal ist der Nachfahr der Nacht. Er jagt allein, frisst allein, heult allein. Er ist ein Gott und macht dich zum Gott. Er streift im Mondlicht durch die westliche Wüste. Er folgt den Schwingen des Tods. Er liebt das süße Aas. Er liebt auch dich. Gib dich ihm hin – oder flieh!
