Matinee by and with Maria Hartmann, as guest: Moritz C. Winklmayr
"It's impossible to kick up dust without some people coughing."
The fact that Erwin Piscator wanted to provoke and did provoke is clear from his statement.
With numerous innovations, image and text projections, he boldly developed the theater as a venue. Social debates and pioneering productions bear witness to the extent to which aesthetic form and political aspirations coincided in his work.
A formative influence on the theater landscape, both in Berlin in the 1920s and after his return from emigration in post-war Germany, Erwin Piscator can be described as an artist who - like few others - will be remembered as a representative of the avant-garde."
