Plot

The text is presented as a recreation, part fiction and part reality, of the personal and professional life of the famous German playwright Bertolt Brecht. The whole piece is a constant reflection on human condition from the point of view of human coherence and human contradictions. Through numerous flash-backs and subtle touches of cabaret and American music-hall, the audience will discover the best kept secrets of the recreated and partly fictional life of Brecht, as well as that of those closest to him. Brecht is a human being who is aware of this development as a creator and as an artist.
