Is there still a light on in the tunnel?
Scenic reading about tunnel escapes with music
About banned books, faith in the GDR, saying goodbye to friends, interrogation, betrayal and the planned escape
A reading circle. During the 1970s, reading circles were formed in a number of cities in the GDR, where friends and acquaintances read banned current and classic literature together. However, they were not safe from Stasi agents and wiretaps. We recreate one such reading circle, which at some point is not only about Franz Kafka, but also about house searches, interrogations, the search for escape routes and farewells, as well as the hope for a better GDR. The staged reading is accompanied and enhanced by music by Wolf Biermann, Gerulf Pannach, Veronika Fischer, Bettina Wegner and others. It takes place in style in the Berlin underworlds not far from the entrance to an escape tunnel.
Playing and singing: Anja Fliess, Petr Manteuffel, Susanne Menner, Christoph Wagner
Lighting and collaboration: Frank-Wolfgang Rosenthal, Christina Irrgang
Written and directed by Petr Manteuffel
Textual collaboration: Anja Fliess, Susanne Menner
Musical director: Matthias Binner
A cooperation between Compagnie Stadttheater e.V. and Berliner Unterwelten e.V.
