"Change the world, it needs it" A tribute to Berthold Brecht - Simone Wehmeyer & Martina Grund

His texts and plays are of timeless relevance. As a critical realist, he found himself caught between almost all political fronts and was once hunted around the world. He transformed literature like hardly anyone else by opening it up to themes that were not considered suitable for literature. He was the socially critical author in world literature par excellence and is more relevant today than ever. Especially his collaboration with Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler resulted in a unique connection of music and text in Brecht's work. With characters like Mackie Messer and the pirate Jenny, Bertolt Brecht reaches millions of audiences. With the urgency of his texts, he continually prompts listeners to think critically and question. Sit back this evening - observe and judge for yourself.
