Musical narrative

Charlotte, a Jewish woman from Berlin, sits in a small room whilst in exile in France, painting and painting and painting – her memories, her dreams, her hopes.



Isabel Nogueira Batista’s musical theatre piece is based on the autobiographical work comprising 796 gouaches, *‘Life? Or Theatre? A Singspiel’* by Charlotte Salomon (Berlin 1917 – Auschwitz 1943).


An enchanting musical and theatrical reading featuring Ann-Kathrin Czymoch (acting), Andrea Chudak (vocals), Constanza Ibarra Olalla (piano) and Judith Kessler (introduction).



*‘Life? Or Theatre?’ from the collection of the Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam © Charlotte Salomon Foundation, Amsterdam.
