BERLINER PORTRÄT GALERIE - GROSSE REGISSEURE. FOLGE 2: MAX REINHARDT

"What you don't spend, you have. But what do you get out of it?" If you understand this quote from Max Reinhardt not only in a material but also in an ideal sense, you get pretty close to the core of this great man of the theater.

Exhaustion, artistic abundance and the search for ever new impulses determined the stages of his career. Almost a legend, it is important to trace the diversity of his career - Reinhardt began his career as an actor - and to name his immense significance for German-speaking theater. Whether on the theater stage, at festivals or in cabaret, the places where he worked were numerous, and the traces of his work became landmarks in theater history.

What was Max Reinhardt's genius, his vision? What established his legendary reputation? These are questions we want to get to the bottom of.
