In Brecht's The Roundheads and the Pointyheads In 1932, he described in detail how a society can slide into the abyss. Brecht had the play performed by actors with round and pointed heads. Hanns Eisler set it to music. In this theatrical concert, singer and actress Kikki Géron, together with the musicians, tells a socially engaged story.
Kikki Géron, programmer: ‘Back then, the Jews were the victims of far-right ideology. Even today, we’ve turned it into a game of finger-pointing. For example, it’s apparently convenient these days to talk about refugees as fortune-seekers. Unfortunately, Brecht’s story is still relevant today.’
