"Der Arme Vetter" (The Poor Cousin) is a notable play by the German expressionist artist and playwright Ernst Barlach. Written in 1919, the play is a significant example of Barlach's exploration of human suffering, social alienation, and the quest for spiritual redemption. Barlach, who is also renowned for his work as a sculptor, often infused his dramatic works with a profound sense of existential inquiry and a deep empathy for the marginalized and downtrodden.

The narrative of "Der Arme Vetter" centers around the character of the poor cousin, who is a symbol of the outcast and the underprivileged in society. Through his interactions with other characters, the play delves into themes of poverty, familial duty, and the societal structures that perpetuate inequality. Barlach's portrayal of the poor cousin is marked by a poignant blend of tragedy and resilience, reflecting the broader human condition and the struggle for dignity amidst adversity.

Barlach's expressionist style is evident in the play's stark, evocative dialogue and its focus on the internal emotional landscapes of the characters. The play's setting and atmosphere are designed to heighten the sense of existential angst and to underscore the moral and ethical questions it raises. "Der Arme Vetter" is not just a social critique but also a philosophical meditation on the nature of human existence and the possibility of spiritual salvation.

The play was part of a broader movement in early 20th-century German literature and theater that sought to break away from naturalism and to explore more abstract and symbolic forms of expression. Barlach's work, including "Der Arme Vetter," remains influential for its powerful depiction of the human spirit and its unflinching examination of the darker aspects of society.
