2.Round: Who is Bertolt Brecht?
Goethe-Institut Hongkong has been working closely with various independent bookshops in the recent years. By hosting cultural events inside the Goethe-Institut as well as at the bookshops located in different parts of Hong Kong, we hope to reach out a broader community. Starting in March, we have been collaborating with Bookorner and Mi Spacium Culture, two local cultural units promoting arts and literature, in hosting a series of “Art Chat” at the Goethe-Library.
Admission fee will be charged for this series of event, in order to support local independent cultural units.
Art Chat: 2. Round. Who was Bertolt Brecht?
Bertolt Brecht (1989-1956) is a well-known German playwright and theatre practitioner, also the founder of the theatre company Berliner Ensemble. After World War I, many theatre practitioners in Germany were looking for a new direction. Many of them wanted to use theatre as a tool to bring social changes. Bertolt Brecht was one of the most important playwrights at that time, and with his introduction of “Epic Theatre” and the theory “Distancing effect”, the theatre world in Germany was perpetually changed.For the second round of “Art Chat”, Dr. Lo Wai-luk, an important scholar from Hong Kong who has been studying Betrolt Brecht, about this well-known German playwright on 21st April (Friday).
