Gabriele Tergit's Berlin court reports from 1924 to 1933

Shimmering night figures, the vile §218, mandatory murder of spouses, sobering fates of emigrants and housing shortages - in short: the general great helplessness of the years 1924 to 1933 is being tried in the Berlin court. But the triumph of the "ethnic idylls" is also tangible, i.e. the infiltration of the justice system by the National Socialists.


In the middle of the courtroom sits the Jewish journalist and writer Gabriele Tergit, who comes from Berlin, observing and reporting. And the whole city eagerly follows her lucid "Sketches from the Courtrooms" in the Berliner Tagblatt or Die Weltbühne.

Flanked by guitar music and filmic scenes of everyday life from the Weimar Republic, the tragedies of purity, gossip and defenselessness take us back to a time that is perhaps not so far away after all.

A staged reading with music!
