As part of the series of events ”Die Stadt von Oben“ (The city from above) Deutschlandradio Kultur’s nationally broadcast program will be a guest in the cinema of the Dortmunder U on November 26 and 27.
On November 26, the radio play “Der Verfassungsschutz” (Homeland Security), written by Karl-Heinz Bölling, will be performed. Florian Lukas and Andreas Mannkopf will be heard in the lead roles. After the performance, Karl-Heinz Bölling and Stefanie Hoster, Deutschlandradio Kultur’s program editor for radio art, will offer a behind-the-scenes view of producing a radio play.
Special agents A and B are observing a dangerous male subject in a hotel. Listening through their headphones, they register a suspicious silence in the neighboring room, they interpret and misinterpret the sounds they hear, they understand nothing and take notes of everything. To be able to >map< the stranger, they note down the sound of peeing, violin playing and even a cock's crow, until they are disturbed by the cleaning lady. »Cleaning ladies should be monitored as enemies of the state«, special agent A declares, »Stupidity is our most dangerous enemy. The more stupid a person is, the greater danger they present to the state«. But who exactly is dangerous for whom remains to be seen.
Admission is free.
Karl-Heinz Bölling, born in Dortmund-Aplerbeck in 1947, is one of the most productive authors of radio plays in Germany. Deutschlandradio Kultur has produced many of his absurd, fantastic plays, most recently Irgendein Briefträger (Any mail carrier) in 2011.
