Steffen Schroeder liest „Der ewige Tanz“

In the organizer's words:

Summer 1928: Anita Berber lies weakened in a Berlin hospital. She had just been a star, embodying the new era on stage and in dozens of films, living and loving excessively. Until the hostilities in Vienna, in which a dark future loomed ... Anita Berber thinks back to her beloved grandmother Lu, with whom she grew up. Her path to divine dance, the great Fritz Lang and the ambitious Marlene Dietrich, who soon copied Anita's style. While friends - such as Otto Dix, who painted her - visit her, Anita Berber searches for the decisive wrong step on her path. She wanted to turn dance into art, into a celebration of life - others only saw the scandal. Her thoughts revolve around all of this, including her great, lost love. And about Felix Berber, the famous violinist, her long-lost father.
