by Brigitte Reimann / Elina Finkel
The writer Brigitte Reimann kept a meticulous diary until her early death in 1973. These very personal, sometimes intimate notes could only be published after 1989.

ICH BEDAURE NICHTS
In them, she writes honestly and touchingly about professional and private matters, politics and art, and thus provides an insight into the thoughts of a young woman in the GDR of the 1950s and 1960s, who struggled with herself and the reality around her.
Brigitte Reimann led an uncompromising life and always strove for absolute honesty, both with herself and with others. Her open, profound and, even from today's perspective, very modern texts open up a cosmos that goes far beyond mere contemporary documents.
Her diaries tell stories of resistance and failure. And her most private feelings also find their place: "I cannot live without this euphoric rush of a new love with its pain, its betrayal and self-deception."
The search for a political home, for success in her career, her flights of fancy and doubts about her own talent are still relevant, as is her inner rebellion against bureaucracy, hypocrisy and patriarchal power structures. Her texts are the testimony of a woman who puts herself at the centre of her life and always thinks about and critically reflects on the social and political conditions surrounding her - a counter-proposal to today's superficiality.
With this work, TD Berlin is continuing its cooperation with the Neue Bühne Senftenberg and the director Elina Finkel, who developed this version of the diaries with the dramaturge Karoline Felsmann.
