Misunderstand me Lilo Wanders visiting Gregor Gysi

Lilo Wanders meets Gregor Gysi. Behind the dazzling figure stands Ernie Reinhardt — artist, narrator and contemporary witness. Just in time for his 70th birthday, he looks back on growing up in the Lower Saxony province, the search for sexual identity in Hamburg and the journey from a shy boy to a diva that has etched herself into the collective memory of an entire generation. Open, hilarious and touching, he talks about self-doubt, triumphs, lows and how the audience has set him up again and again.

In conversation with Gregor Gysi, biography and politics come together: How does the public change the private sphere? What does freedom mean when you have to fight for it first? And what does an artist's life say about social change?

Look forward to an evening with Lilo Wanders and a conversation that entertains, moves and opens up new perspectives.
