"To go or to stay? 70 - 40 - 30 October children"
On Tuesday, 21 January 2020 at 7 pm, interested parties are invited to a staged reading by the theatre department of the Karl-Schmidt-Rottluff-Gymnasium Chemnitz. The theme is: 30 years of peaceful revolution and reunification. With texts by Bertolt Brecht, Christoph Hein, Stefan Heym and Steffen Mensching. The event will take place in the TIETZ event hall. Admission is free.
"A good 70 years ago, two states were founded on German soil. One, the smaller one, existed for 40 years, then - 30 years ago - a revolution began. Eleven months and 25 days later, the GDR ended its existence and joined the other state. Its story is over, but it has not yet been told. Our reading is a small attempt..."
This is an event organised in cooperation with the Chemnitz City Library, the City of Chemnitz Cultural Services and the Karl-Schmidt-Rottluff-Gymnasium Chemnitz - a successor institution to the former Chemnitz State Grammar School, which the young Stefan Heym attended until 1931.
