Konzert & Lesung: Liebe in den Dreißigern...

In the organizer's words:

A literary-musical evening about love in difficult times

The program "Love in the Thirties..." tells of love stories, affairs and liaisons, but also persecution - especially of queer people - during the rise of National Socialism. Excerpts from "Love in Times of Hate" by Florian Illies about Marlene Dietrich, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, Gustaf Gründgens, Josephine Baker and many others are combined with well-known chansons from the 1930s to create an impressive and emotional evening about love in difficult times. The stories about social diversity in the 1920s and its suppression by the Nazi regime are also a plea today for cohesion and the importance of protecting endangered minorities in our present day.
