With Monika Holzmann, Richard Maschke and Jörg Mischke
Hannah Arendt-Blücher died fifty years ago and left a deep gap in the public debate. She was an important theorist of the 20th century who dealt intensively with the topics of totalitarianism, the "banality of evil" and the "vita activa". But who was her husband Heinrich Blücher?
Heinrich Blücher, a communist theorist, had to flee Germany from National Socialism like Hannah Arendt. They met in Paris in 1936. Heinrich became the philosophical conversation partner that Hannah needed to further develop her theories. They later emigrated to the USA together.
They often continued their conversations by letter, as Hannah was often on the road. The correspondence enabled them to exchange their thoughts and develop new projects. These letters reflect the private and intellectual challenges they faced in a turbulent time - always in search of home.
An artistic program now brings excerpts from these letters to the stage, supplemented by songs by Burt Bacharach, which deepen the emotional dialogue between the letters.
The trio Monika Holzmann, Richard Maschke and Jörg Mischke, who have already had success with other literary and musical programs, are designing this project. They have previously staged works by Rainer Maria Rilke and the correspondence between Patricia Stella Campbell and George Bernard Shaw.
Monika Holzmann is a singer and voice coach, Richard Maschke works as an actor and consultant and Jörg Mischke is a musician and lecturer.
