An evening between memory, judgment, and theater magic
The story begins in Copenhagen in 1975: Six months before her death, Hannah Arendt is to be awarded the Sonning Prize. While she prepares her speech in her hotel room, a space opens up between life, loss, and reflection. This situation creates a dense psychological portrait that evokes Arendt's escape, her arrest in France, her time in the USA, and the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem.

Strong characters, clear language, strong impact
On stage, Mayra Bosshard, Elias Popp, and Hugo Ziegler meet in a production by Tina Brüggemann, who explores the spectrum between seriousness, sharpness, and surreal memory according to the event page. This approach makes the evening exciting for an audience that appreciates theatrical experience, historical depth, and intellectual friction.
