Brecht's Ghosts

Suse Wächter is the inventor of a world populated by 20th century revenants. In their epochal performance Heroes of the 20th Century, the immortal stars, demons of history and unforgettable heroes of our dreams appeared. Her more than a hundred puppet figures are deceptively real copies of the undead that still haunt our heads. In their production, the “house god” of the Berlin ensemble, Bertolt Brecht, is haunted by the countless ghosts he met during his long exile and when he returned to the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm. Together with two musicians and a puppeteer, Suse Wächter creates an evening séance in which the little creatures with the big aura play their game.
