The Charlotte Salomon Project: Life? Or Theater?

Polybe + Seats brings painter Charlotte Salomon's work to life.
Length: 1 hr 30 mins

You choose your seats when you get to the theater.
Charlotte Salomon was a Jewish artist who was born in Berlin and escaped to the south of France during the Second World War. While in exile she created 1,300 paintings over the course of two years, depicting her family’s history, her sheltered girlhood during the rise of the Nazi regime, her development into an artist, and her troubled love affair with an older man.
While Charlotte's paintings survived the war, she did not; she was killed at Auschwitz in 1944 at the age of 26. Polybe + Seats has developed this project over the past two years, incorporating the work of several playwrights, composers, and designers to bring Salomon’s story to life. |
