Queer New World By FONACT (Fontainebleau School of Acting)
Workshop (2 days)
>

Join us for a glimpse into the world of queer Berlin during the creative and artistic cultural explosion of the interwar years; work with young actors as they explore how we connect as human beings in the present - and through the lens of the past.
A provocation inspired by the life and world of Annemarie Schwarzenbach described by photographer Marianne Breslauer as “neither man nor woman, but an angel, an archangel”; amidst a backdrop of the joyous sexual liberation and gender exploration that defined Weimar Berlin under the burgeoning shadow of fascism.
« Fear? Back then, I didn't even realize what that new feeling was. Later, when it overwhelmed me and almost pulled me under, I understood. And, since then, a nameless fear has hung like a plume of smoke over the great, colourful desert of this country, above my sometimes blissful, sometimes terrible memories of it. » (Annemarie Schwarzenbach)
