Brecht in Pictures

Invitation to the Exhibition Opening and Discussion “Brecht in Pictures”

We warmly invite you to the opening of the exhibition “Brecht in Pictures.” The exhibition presents a carefully curated selection of photographs of Bertolt Brecht as well as impressive stage scenes from his plays. The images come from the Bertolt Brecht Archive at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin and include, among others, photographs of Brecht with Helene Weigel, his wife and the artistic director of the Berliner Ensemble, rehearsal photos from The Caucasian Chalk Circle, and other rare visual documents.

Following the exhibition opening, a discussion will take place under the title:

“Beyond the Stage: A Critical Analysis of Emotion and Meaning in Brecht’s Masterpieces – Cultural, Humanitarian, and Political Connections in Ethiopian Theatre.”

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Paulos Aemero as our speaker. He is a researcher in African Studies focusing on art, media, and culture, as well as an author, performer, and artistic consultant.
In addition, Director Manyazewal Endeshaw will share insights into his personal artistic engagement with Brecht’s work and explain what inspires him about Brecht’s theatrical vision.

The discussion will be moderated by Manyazewal Getachew, PR Officer of the Addis Ababa Theater Houses Enterprise.

We look forward to your participation and an inspiring evening full of exchange, art, and new perspectives.

The event will be held in Amharic.
