When Literature Becomes an Accusation

Schubart's text was created in response to a historical sale of soldiers by the Duke of Württemberg. The evening reconstructs this material with texts and songs from Schubart, Schiller, Heine, and Kleist, and shows how pressing the questions regarding the value of soldiers and the beneficiaries of war remain. This is the literary quality of this evening: It reads history not as a museum, but as the present.
