Hannah Arendt — Rahel Varnhagen - The Life of a Jewish Woman (Uraufführung)
In the organizer's words:
Hannah Arendt - Rahel Varnhagen - The Life of a Jewish Woman (world premiere)
In the last years of the Weimar Republic, shortly before her flight from Germany in 1933, the young Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) worked on a text in which she became visible as a political philosopher for the first time. Her topic: Judaism and the public sphere. Her counterpart: Rahel (1771-1833), born Levin, later married Varnhagen, for herself "Rahel all her life and nothing else". For Arendt, "my best friend, unfortunately dead a hundred years now".
We bring the two intellectual greats into dialog with each other and with today's Arendt and Rahel research. Come along on an uncomfortable journey through time, into the 20th century, into the 19th century and back to the present - the famous salonière and her no less prominent biographer invite you to a public encounter!
