In the organizer's words:
a staged reading with music by Irmgard Keun
with Julia Kemp & Jonathan Wolters
On Whit Monday, June 9, at 7 p.m., Hamburg actress Julia Kemp will read and perform excerpts from Irmgard Keun's "Das kunstseidene Mädchen". Julia Kemp is known to Hamburg audiences for her role as Lämmchen in the Rolf Mares Prize-winning production of "Kleiner Mann - was nun?" at the Ohnsorg Theater and her leading role as Cassie in Anton Pleva's production of "Eigengrau" at the Hamburger Sprechwerk.
Keun's key novel of the Weimar Republic about the young "New Woman" Doris, who moves to the big city to become a glamour, was published in 1932 and was confiscated and burned by the Nazis just one year later for being "anti-German".
The reading will be accompanied by music from Jonathan Wolters, who will play jazz and hits from the vibrant Berlin of the 1920s on the piano and clarinet.
