Culture - Deutsches Theater brings "Sun and Concrete" into the classroom
The Intendant of the German Theater in Berlin, Iris Laufenberg, has given an outlook on her second season at the house. The goal is to "win the hearts of the audience in a city like Berlin, which gives us so many offers", said Laufenberg on Tuesday at the presentation of the first half of the 2024/25 season from September to December. In the program, there is a mobile premiere of the novel "Sonne und Beton" by Felix Lobrecht.
The 2023 filmed story, with which Lobrecht became a bestseller, is about four boys growing up in the Neukölln Gropiusstadt. The production is planned to start touring Berlin from early October and be shown in classrooms or youth centers. In November, there is also planned the premiere of "Die drei Leben von Hannah Arendt" about the German-American publisher (1906-1975), inspired by the Graphic Novel "The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt. A Tyranny of Truth". The season will be opened on September 26 with the piece "Das Schiff der Träume (sails right by)" in a production by Claudia Bauer. With Laufenberg, a woman took over the leadership of the German Theater, which was founded in 1883 for the first time last year. It was "a year of getting to know each other", said the Intendant. The advance sales for the September and October dates will start on July 10.
