Filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger brings Leonora Carrington's novel The Hearing Trumpet (Das Hörrohr) to the stage of Berlin's Maxim Gorki Theater, in her own adaptation and with her own set design.
A 92-year-old heroine rises up with fellow elders and outcasts against a world shaped by greed and violence. Ottinger met Carrington in Chicago in 1991, when they first planned this adaptation; 35 years later it reaches the stage.
The cast includes Angela Winkler, Ilse Ritter, ChrisTine Urspruch and Monika Lennartz. The performance is in German with English surtitles. An exhibition of further works by Ottinger runs alongside it in the theatre's gallery, with free admission.
