Martina Gedeck / Sebastian Knauer

»Alas, how fleeting is time,« Clemens Brentano once wrote, lamenting how it »melts away« before it has »hardly begun«. Poets across the ages have noted a similar sensation – and indeed not just the poets. The theme of time is inexhaustible and has been occupying the minds of the greatest philosophers and artists, as well as the average Joe, since the beginning of time. With a programme of music and poetry, Sebastian Knauer and Martina Gedeck explore the phenomenon of time and look back at the life of the actor Hannelore Elsner, who died in April 2019.
