A house on a lake in the Mark. Nearly a century of German history. And two female artists who are bringing one of the most significant contemporary German-language novels to the stage together for the first time. Jenny Erpenbeck, winner of the International Booker Prize, is one of the most important international literary voices of our time. In her multi-award-winning novel »Visitation«, she tells not the story of a single family, but that of a place.
Please note: The event will be held in German.
A summer house by the lake becomes a silent witness to German history. Generations come and go, owners change, lives begin and end. People love and lose, flee, remain silent, and remember. Their fates weave together into a haunting panorama of the 20th century, in which personal life stories and historical upheavals are inextricably intertwined.
