Premiere of “The Three Lives of Hannah Arendt”: Context-free rhetoric

Premiere of “The Three Lives of Hannah Arendt”: Context-free rhetoric

Director Theresa Thomasberger attempts to turn Ken Krimstein’s graphic novel “The Three Lives of Hannah Arendt” into a theater at the DT-Kammerspiele and ends up on television.

“The Three Lives of Hannah Arendt” based on the graphic novel by Ken Krimstein Jasmin Schuller

They do exist, those golden moments on public television. And anyone a little over twenty will be familiar with one of them. Often repeated and—thank goodness—also readily accessible online: the famous 1964 interview "Zur Person" (On the Person) by Günter Gaus with Hannah Arendt. You can watch it again and again and will be swept away by this slightly exalted, incredibly self-assured, charismatic woman behind the horn-rimmed glasses, who, with a raspy, idiosyncratically confident intonation, takes her interviewee along on her journey of thought.
