Suspenseful live audio play

The Roaring Twenties. The Charleston, jazz, revue, and silent film. On the other hand: the Great Depression, the rise of the NSDAP, and coup attempts. Amidst this era, she is on her way to becoming an international film star: Renate Müller. She stars alongside screen legends like Willy Fritsch, Grethe Weiser, and Heinz Rühmann—until her great love for a Jewish man proves to be her undoing. Her tragic death, which remains unexplained to this day, shocks the world, yet the once-famous actress and chanson singer soon fades into obscurity… A glittering, dramatic, and thrillingly staged Dark Room, steeped in the atmosphere of the 1920s, tells the story of a true event—interwoven with music by Gustav Mahler, Paul Hindemith, and chansons of the era. The audience listens to the orchestra and the well-known voice actors Magdalena Turba and Timmo Niesner in near-total darkness. An exceptional auditory experience into which listeners can fully immerse themselves.
