“I want to stay where I have never been” An evening dedicated to Thomas Brasch, with Albrecht Schuch and Marion Brasch
“I want to stay where I have never been” is the last line of one of Thomas Brasch’s most famous poems. And it is a key sentiment for the writer, dramatist and filmmaker, whose life was like a “desolate novel”, a “novel about East and West”, as theater personality Claus Peymann once said. In his poems, plays and films, Brasch astutely, powerfully and originally confronts society’s contradictions, which are more relevant than ever before. In her debut novel “Ab jetzt ist Ruhe” [“From Now On, Quiet”], Marion Brasch told the story of her family. Now she puts the spotlight on her big brother Thomas. What did he dream of and what irritated him? What drove him away from his family and ultimately from his country? In a collage of texts, scenes and film, she weaves these questions into a story that she brings to the stage in collaboration with Albrecht Schuch.
