About event
Scenic reading of Anna Seghers' story
«Only people without a passport are allowed to enter here.»
Anna Seghers' fantastic story “Journey to the Eleventh Reich” begins with this paradoxical announcement. After a long, arduous search, a group of stateless people arrives in a mysterious country where everything seems to be turned upside down. They experience a political and social reality with strange customs, bizarre bureaucratic procedures and a special kind of wedding celebration.
Anna Seghers wrote this text, which she describes as a fragment, in exile in Paris in 1938 and published it in 1939 in Die Neue Weltbühne - published in Paris, London and Zurich. For her 125th birthday, students from the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts are performing it as a staged reading: "A Kafkaesque parable about exile, statelessness and the absurdity of political borders - poetic, disturbing and highly topical."
With the students of the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts: Mina Halide Guschke, Linus Hüsam
Installation: Zoe Straub, Lara Pohlers
Introduction: Holger Teschke
