Der zerbrochene Kleist

In the organizer's words:

There are probably few writers in German-language literature whose life and work show as much light and shade as Heinrich von Kleist. He was the writer who was always in between: between eras, between emotions, between hubris and failure. It is precisely this inner conflict - often difficult for contemporaries to understand - that makes him a timelessly fascinating poet. "It is my unconditional desire to be happy," wrote Kleist. Modernism emerges from the broken classical period.

Five students from the drama school DER KELLER follow the restless ups and downs of Kleist's life until his - self-chosen - end, playfully questioning texts, letters and scenes by the author and approaching the writer and man on all levels.
