Presented with support from the Friends of the Goethe-Institut (FoGI)
The Goethe-Institut and director Natsu Onoda Power present an interactive performance. Audience members will encounter five Hannahs — five performers embodying Hannah Arendt at five different stages of her life. She may be a sassy child reading Kant; she may be a new emigre to the US, having escaped Nazi Germany; she may be a well-respected professor facing controversy for her newest book. You are invited to sit with the Hannahs, and to discuss all manners of topics, big or small, public or private, historical or contemporary.
Dates:
Saturday, 7 May at 7PM
Sunday, 8 May at 2PM
Ensemble:
Dana Andersen, Melissa Carter, Fatima Dyfan, Vanessa Gilbert, Natsu Onoda Power
With:
David Higgins, Ben Sullivan
