How the beat came to Germany
With SPIEGEL bestselling author Cordt Schnibben and actors from the ensemble
organized by CORRECTIV

Exactly sixty years ago, Radio Bremen's first Beat Club program was launched, giving many young Germans hope for a new liberal, cosmopolitan era in stuffy, bourgeois Adenauer Germany. The Rock-LSD Revue brings these years back to life, telling the story of Carl and his friends, who feel the vibration of the new era in the songs of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. They work as cable carriers in the Beat Club and are regulars at the Lila Eule. Carl moves to East Berlin in 1972 to protest against his Nazi father and falls in love with Mara - but the hippie is kicked out of the GDR: Mara's father, a Stasi officer on a Western assignment, thinks Carl is an LSD dealer and informer who has been set up by the West German secret service. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Carl searches for the love of his life in the chaos of decaying socialism and meets his friends again in East Berlin's anarchist techno scene. In his novel "Lila Eule", SPIEGEL bestselling author Cordt Schnibben takes us on a trip through a time in which many things developed that are to be erased again in the current rollback towards a nationalistic, stupid Germany.
