Marlene Dietrich: In Pursuit of Love

“Marlene Dietrich: In Pursuit of Love” is a musical confession in one act, built on songs from Marlene Dietrich's repertoire (libretto by Thomas Schendel), dedicated to one of the greatest screen stars of the first half of the 20th century. The stage narrative is woven from fragments of her turbulent life — challenges to social taboos and dazzling encounters with the most brilliant creators of her era in literature, cinema and music. The production is not a tribute but an attempt to tear away the shell of the cinema “legend” and bring to light an ordinary woman with an extraordinary thirst for life and love. Starring Lyudmila Kozareva as She; directed by Ivan Panev. Duration: 1 h 20 min without intermission, on the chamber stage.
