Howl

based on the poem by Allen Ginsberg
a one-woman show with Thato Kämmerer

»I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical, naked!«
Howl is a frenetic ride through the raw edges of a society on the brink of collapse. Based on Allen Ginsberg’s iconic poem, this stage adaptation celebrates language, music, fury, solidarity and the courage to speak out in a world that prefers silence. It gives voice to the angry, the isolated, and those who dance to the beat of resistance. The monologue, performed in English for Jena and its international community is a howl against a stifling status quo – and a love letter to those who live and feel too much.

Audio-Introduction by Marion Hélène Weber (Dramaturgy)
