Guest performance: Mephisto

Sabine Wackernagel reads from the famous novel "Mephisto," which Klaus Mann published in Amsterdam in 1936. It tells the story of the actor Hendrik Höfgen, who sided with the Nazi regime and thus betrayed his own ideals. It is a story about conformity and resistance, careerism and morality. Set in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, it is disturbingly timeless and therefore still relevant today.
