The Book for our 70th Anniversary

We thought it would be fun to add together 70 years of Maxim Gorki Theater, soon to be 20 years of post-migrant theatre, nine years of Shermin Langhoff's artistic directorship – that makes 99. That's exactly the number of companions, audience members, friends, artists and creatives we have asked to take their own look at the Gorki and the prehistory of post-migrant theatre with a »shout-out«. After all, every story – including that of our theatre – is a story of many. Only from the interplay of the different perspectives a vivid picture emerges – which will still never be a complete one. 
Comrade Gorki is a book of associations – and of good attitude. We let speak people and images: With photographs by Esra Rotthoff in front of the stage, by Ute Langkafel on the stage and by Lutz Knospe behind the scenes.

The Book is published by Theater der Zeit and is available in the Gorki webshop and in bookstores.

Editors Shermin Langhoff and Lutz Knospe.
