Performance: Ask me more about Brecht

Posted: October 5, 2013

A Theatrical Reconstruction of Conversations between Hanns Eisler and Hans Bunge

Translated and Performed by Sabine Berendse and Paul Clements

In this multi-media show the audience is taken back to the East Berlin of 1958 when Hans Bunge began the first of his fourteen recorded interviews with the courageous and committed left-wing composer, Hanns Eisler.

The audience is invited to meet Hanns Eisler – played by Paul Clements. Eisler was an enormously intelligent and entertaining conversationalist: sharp, witty, incisive, humorous and lively, and with such a breadth of knowledge and profound understanding of historical processes that it is extraordinarily stimulating to read and hear his words today.

The event takes place on Monday, Oct. 21, 2013 at 2.30 pm in Joseph G. Green Studio Theatre.
