LEBEN? ODER THEATER? EIN SINGSPIEL
(Life? Or Theatre? A Song-Play)
Charlotte Salomon was a German-Jewish artist originally from Berlin, who created a series of autobiographical paintings while she was hiding from Nazi persecution in Southern France 1941-1943. Tragically she was deported to Auschwitz in 1943, where both she and her unborn child were executed.
Marie Pohl and her father Klaus Pohl have developed Salomon's "wagnerian" work of gouaches into a libretto, which will be presented as a semi-staged reading with music at the Komische Oper Berlin this coming Monday late evening.
There is a real eclectic mix of international artists involved with this project, including writers, actors, directors, musicians, singers, etc from America, Cuba, Australia, England and Germany.
The performance will take place in the foyer of the Komische Oper Berlin, Behrenstrasse 55-57 on Monday night 2 June 2014 starting at 22.15. Tickets are only €15 and the performance should last 75 minutes.
Further details are available in German on the Komische Oper website here: and more history of Charlotte on wikipedia.
