A party with the poems of Selma Meerbaum
Nominated for the Cologne Theatre Prize 2021:
I WANT TO LIVE!
1942: Shortly before deportation to a Nazi forced labour camp, Selma Meerbaum finishes her last poem with the words: "I have not had time to finish writing." She hands over her only handwritten book of poems into saving hands. This book of poems was passed on countless times across Europe and thus survived the Second World War. Today we can get to know Selma Meerbaum and her poetry, about which the poet Rose Ausländer said: "World literature that the world does not know". I WANT TO LIVE! celebrates Selma's poems, which tell of the passions and hopes of a young girl growing up in the multi-ethnic Bukovina of the 1920s. Her greatest longing? - Life!
ICH WILL LEBEN!, a German-Ukrainian co-production by Futur3, the Lesia Ukrainka Theatre from Lviv/Ukraine and the Neue Bühne Senftenberg. This bilingual theatre evening sets out to tell the incredible story of the salvation of this world literature, with music, in songs and lyrics.
