At the bus station, the public boarded an old Ikarus bus. The buses were built by the manufacturer of the same name in Hungary between 1973 and 1989. They were mainly used in the former Eastern Bloc countries. Accompanied by a tour guide, the tour travelled through Chemnitz to various workplaces. A separate theatre play was performed at each one, sometimes classically, sometimes with figures, sometimes with dance. It was always about the question: What do I have to do to be able to work? What is the price?
