The Brecht House invites you: Malonda and Andrej Hermlin will perform on the courtyard stage, there will be lyrical interventions, guided tours of the Brecht-Weigel Museum and the Dorotheenstädtischer Friedhof (cemetery) and – to mark the European Championships – a reading with Hanni Lorenz and Erdmut Wizisla and the open archive on the subject of “Brecht and Sport”.

The “Witching hour” at the Dorotheenstädtischer and Französischer Friedhof will include readings by Regina Scheer, Judith Schalansky, Esther Esche, Andrej Hermlin, Ekkehard Maaß and students of the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts.
