Presenting German Spotlight this weekend, a series of rehearsed readings, to help publicise and popularise our vast online databank of German plays in translation - in collaboration with Sandbox Collective. Event: German Spotlight: Theatre Readings by Little Jasmine Theatre Project and Vandana Prabhu Presented by Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan and Sandbox Collective Date: November 26, 2016 Saturday November 26, 2016 And Then (Und dann by Wolfram Höll) by Little Jasmine Theatre Project Featuring Kirtana Kumar, Kaya Rao-Shetty, Malini Narayan Venue: Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore About Kirtana Kumar: Kirtana Kumar is an actor, director and film-maker. She lives on a farm with a musician, 4 dogs, 3 horses, some buffalo and chickens. "I picked 'And then' because it was written in columns, with no defined characters and with line breaks that hinted at a rhythm that the playwright was keen we discover in the reading. I found it elusive and suggestive of lost love, lost people. I also liked the fact that it was set against 1989, the toppling of the Berlin Wall. This offered a contemporary historical context that, for me, is very interesting to explore." What I'm doing with it: Playing with chorus as memory, some found footage. Trying to get beneath the skin of the text. Free entry. Theatre professionals are invited! This is not a staged play/performance, but only a reading of excerpts to arouse interest in future productions.
