Without Papers

Object Theater by and With Sophie Bartels
Spieluhr

Schloßstraße 22, 06406 Bernburg (Saale), Deutschland

18 Oct 2021 - 17:00

This wonderful piece, to which I was allowed to contribute two arrangements for music box, tells about the life of two people on the run: the philosopher Walter Benjamin and the resistance fighter Lisa Fittko. At a time when there was little security, they - like many others - became "sans papiers", people without papers. The production tells of life in exile, of solidarity and resistance and the courage of those who dare to face injustice.

After the Schaubühne Berlin, the production can now also be seen at the Wildwechsel Theater Festival.
