Das Lieben danach

In the organizer's words:

"For many years, the story seemed completely irrelevant to me". From this sentence, Helene Bracht, now seventy years old, tells of an experience that has been buried for decades and which she shares with many women and many men: that love and sexuality have not always been good and consensual. How do you love and desire when hurtful things are hidden behind you? How do you continue to live and love? Breaking a taboo in a brilliant and uniquely clever and confident way, this text tells of abuse - and its limits. Helene Bracht was born in 1955. She studied education and psychology, studied acting and theater directing and worked in the theater for many years. Today she lives in Berlin as a psychologist with her own practice. "Das Lieben danach" is her first literary publication.
