Germany's Best... & The Flowing Light of the Godhead
of the courses in directing, acting and dramaturgy at the Theaterakademie Hamburg (HfMT) in cooperation with the HAW Hamburg and the HFBK Hamburg

Play development begins with an urgent question, an exciting topic or a personal interest - not necessarily with a literary text. She sees theater as an open, creative process that begins where there is no ready-made template.

In this year's Study Project II, three directing students explored this approach: Scenic material was developed through intensive research, organized dramaturgically and tested in collective work processes with their teams.

Directors: Lori Brückner, Georg Dirlack, Aniol Kirberg

Germany's Best...

Exciting mental duels! Sweaty physical competitions! Blunt expressions of opinion! Astute commentary! And of course, most important of all - fun, fun, fun! This is "Germany's Best" - the most exciting show in all of Germany. Every week, we invite two legendary personalities who are outstanding in their respective fields to fight a thrilling competition for you in front of the TV: Who is Germany's best ...?

This time on "Germany's Best": "Revolutions are the locomotives of history," said Marx. But unlike the derailments of 1918 and 1968, the revolutionary train is finally reaching its destination tonight! Two icons of German revolutionaries from different eras, Rosa Luxemburg and Rudi Dutschke, descend from the socialist skies and land directly in our studio for one reason only: to put their lifelong revolutionary experiences, weapons of criticism and resistance techniques on the table and face off in an ultimate duel. The unresolved issues of the past find their conclusion tonight. The secrets they were unable to reveal in their lifetimes are being spoken for the first time today. The once failed revolution gets its chance to succeed tonight. Who will become the most outstanding resistance fighter of our time? Only those who truly understand the zeitgeist and the people's voice will triumph!

The Flowing Light of the Godhead

after Mechthild von Magdeburg

"O Lord, love me passionately and love me often and long, for I am wounded to death by the arrow of your fiery love!"

The text fragment 'The Flowing Light of the Godhead' by Mechthild of Magdeburg from the 13th century is one of the most important texts of late medieval mysticism. We follow the absolute devotion, the complete desire and the sacrifice of one's own body described in this text and look for ways of dealing with ecstasy and violence and a Christian dogma that is always being written into our bodies.

Content note: Description of violence
