THE THEATRE OF LIFE OF CAROLA NEHER
MEMORIAL Society, Moscow, 2018
Music theatre for the exhibition at MEMORIAL Society
A musical-theatrical evening in memory of the German actress Carola Neher, who perished in a Soviet Gulag camp.
The concept is based on Carola Neher’s biography and The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht, aiming to show, through the interplay of theater and life, the story of a person whose essence cannot be reduced to a single role—whether as a "Gulag prisoner" or a "great actress.”
The evening was shaped by songs primarily from The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.
