Brasch - Das Alte geht nicht und das Neue auch nicht

»You write your reality, you write your city, you take its measure for yourself and create it by populating it with characters.« Thomas Brasch.

Sakko and Oi have time – too much time, and they spend it in the fantasies of other lived realities. In Mercedes Thomas Brasch wrote a play which circles around in neutral. Lena Brasch explodes this experimental assembly with an additional mysterious character who doesn’t fit into the structure at all. Together they create their own mythology. Because the rulers create the myths elsewhere, but in Thomas Brasch‘s works the marginalised become heroes. The poetic place his characters inhabit was, for him, Berlin. Director Lena Brasch also uses a musically powerful approach to reflect on his work. She takes a look at her Berlin, and that of her uncle – from his times through the present and beyond.
