Artist talk following 'Berlin Diary: (Schlüterstrasse 27)'

In 1936 Dr. Max Cohnreich escapes Berlin, Germany and arrives in NYC. In 1939 he writes about his experiences in a diary intended for his as yet unborn grandchildren. In 2015 his great-granddaughter Andrea Stolowitz travels to Berlin to use the diary to explore the life he describes. After the performance the audiences are invited to discuss about the performance and to question Andrea Stolowitz about her trip to the past of her great-grandfather.

After the performance the audiences will get in dialogue with Andrea Stolowitz, Daniel Brunet and the actors of the play. Following the topic of remembering and forgetting we will talk about the creative process of 'Berlin Diary: (Schlüterstraße 27)' and have the opportunity to question Andrea Stolowitz about her trip to the past of her great-grandfather.

About the artists

Daniel Brunet & Andrea Stolowitz

Daniel Brunet (director) was born in Syracuse, New York and studied theater and film at Boston College. He moved to Berlin in 2001 and began a career as a freelance theater maker. Brunet was the Associate Director/Associate Producer of German Theater Abroad from 2005 to 2008, a transatlantic theater company based in New York and Berlin. In 2012 Brunet became Producing Artistic Director of English Theatre Berlin. 

Andrea Stolowitz’s plays have been presented at The Cherry Lane (NYC), The Old Globe (SD), The Long Wharf (CT), New York Stage and Film (NY), and Portland Center Stage (OR). The LA Times calls her work “heartbreaking” and the Orange County Register characterizes her approach as a “brave refusal to sugarcoat…issues and tough decisions.”
