Live radio play
Although 60 years separate their birthdates, the parallels between them are striking: For the Jewish women Else Lasker-Schüler and Anne Frank, who both died shortly before the collapse of Nazi Germany, writing was a means of life and survival: a last anchor in a reeling world.

Oder: Schreiben um zu leben: Wer ein rotes, springendes Herz hat
Both possessed what Else Lasker-Schüler called "a red, leaping heart." That phenomenal inner vitality that gave them the strength and self-belief to defy the inhumane circumstances in which they lived. The live radio play focuses on their life themes—expulsion, exile, love, and writing—as if under an "auditory magnifying glass."
With Ingeborg Wolff (Else Lasker-Schüler), Luise Kinner (Anne Frank), Ulrike Kaltenbrunner (vocals), Heiner Bontrup (text & direction), Herbert Mischke (music & videos).
Theater Anderwelten, commissioned by the Else Lasker-Schüler Society. Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation in Berlin e.V. in cooperation with MS Goldberg and the Anne Frank Center.
