Brüning / Kerklau // Rosa! Mensch sein ist vor allem die Hauptsache

Rosa Luxemburg was many things. Grandiose orator, disturber of the peace, petite person, infamous murderer, prison poet, humanist and pacifist. An unconditional fighter for freedom, democracy, internationalism and non-violence. Smart, vulnerable, angry, empathetic, political, full of life, humorous, courageous, strong. Everything is supposedly known about her. But actress Gabriele Brüning and director Manfred Kerklau discover new sides to the icon. The human side. That of the bird lover and botanist, for example, who writes touching letters to her friend Sophie Liebknecht from prison. It's about respect and equal rights. For everyone and everything that lives and grows. "A captivating study of Rosa Luxemburg's character and her view of the world unfolds in a tone that is often almost upbeat, but always oscillates between longings, bubbling emotions and meticulous, sober observations" (MZ)
