Concert and reading with the singer-songwriter Stephan Krawczyk

Stephan Krawczyk became one of the most significant members of the GDR Opposition in the 1980s. He was kept under surveillance by the state security for years, was not allowed to appear on stage from 1985 on and was arrested in 1988. He was forced to leave the GDR “voluntarily” in the same year.

Krawczyk is a versatile musician and was awarded the “Bundesverdienstkreuz” in 2009. He is not only a major feature of the German musical scene but also of the yearly programmes of events that are organized by the Hans Fallada Museum. He will present an interesting mixture of old and new songs and texts and will certainly fill the audience with enthusiasm with his texts about the situation in the former GDR and the insight into the thoughts of a dissident.

A one person performance: starring Cornelia Gutermann-Bauer. direction: Günter Bauer. duration: ca. 80 min – no interval.

Kassandra, the cosseted daughter of a king, considers herself to be happy until it becomes obvious to her that the facade of the royal house is slipping. She dicovers the secret preparations for war, asks questions and sets herself against the powers that be. By recognizing what is happening behind the scenes she learns about herself, her own strength and power.

It is a timeless and topical play about the discovery of one’s own strength and voice.

Enjoy a wonderful performance by Cornelia Gutermann-Bauer, directed by Günter Bauer!

When Hans Fallada was denounced to the SA in 1933 he gave up his house near Berlin after serving a short sentence and bought the estate in Carwitz. There he wrote many novels in which he criticized the social system. In those very rooms, today’s Hans Fallada Museum, the Roaring Twenties are brought back to life. The expressive singer Gisa Flake presents frivolous, cheerful, critical and thoughtful chansons of the twenties in the sound of former times. In addition you can enjoy a gramophone concert with records from Fallada’s personal collection as well as learning more about his relation to Carwitz.
