Simone Wehmeyer & Martina Grund

He changed literature like few others - by opening it up to subjects that were not considered fit for the page. He was the socially critical author of world literature par excellence, and today his work feels more relevant than ever.

His collaborations with Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler in particular produced a unique fusion of music and text in Brecht's work. Characters like Mackie Messer and Pirate Jenny brought Bertolt Brecht to audiences of millions.

This evening, sit back, listen, and let yourself drift into the lush green of the cultural jungle. Join Simone Wehmeyer and Martina Grund for a musical collage of Brecht's view of the world.
