Ich habe eine mickrige Woche Zeit, um meine Angelegenheiten zu regeln, und dann muss ich mich vor dem Konklave präsentieren, um meine hundertjährige Vertragsknechtschaft anzutreten, in der ich das Einmaleins der Vampire lernen würde.

In seinem modernen Klassiker der Science-Fiction-Literatur Die Zeitmaschine wagt H.G. Wells einen Blick in die ferne Zukunft unserer Welt, und was sein Protagonist erlebt, ist nicht nur erfreulich, aber auch nicht hoffnungslos. Seit vielen Jahren zählt Woyzeck von Georg Büchner zu den meistgespielten Theaterstücken auf deutschsprachigen Bühnen, ebenso vielfach verfilmt und multimedial adaptiert – kein Wunder: Das Drama um einen von gesellschaftlichen Erniedrigungen gequälten einfachen Mann ist so zeitlos wie das Leben selbst.

Wir schreiben eine Zeit, in der der moderne Mensch noch neu auf dieser Erde war. Doch er war nicht allein. In den dunklen Wäldern und Höhlen lauerten „die grausigen Wesen" – die Neandertaler. In Wells' Vorstellung sind dies keine friedlichen Verwandten, sondern gewaltige, behaarte Monster mit übermenschlicher Kraft, die Jagd auf menschliche Kinder machen. Als ein Kind des Stammes geraubt wird, beginnt eine gnadenlose Verfolgungsjagd durch eine wilde, ungezähmte Welt. Ein Kampf zweier Rassen, von denen nur eine überleben kann.
