Heiner Müller’s Dialectic Thought

in the GDR

A Live & Sound Installation of texts by Müller  Directed by Lydia Ziemke

Sound by Owen Lasch
 

Several lesser known texts by Heiner Müller are presented with recorded and live voices interacting. The texts are bitterly funny accounts of conditions in East Germany after the war and into the years leading up to the building of the so-called “anti-fascist safety wall” (the wall). They are chosen for their challenging dialectic thought, which exposes the discrepancy between moral principles and the necessities of real life.
