Who was Hannah Arendt? We meet the political theorist in 1975 in a hotel room in Copenhagen, hours before she is to receive the Sonning Prize. While preparing for her speech, she is drawn into a deep maelstrom of surreal memories of her love, encounters and experiences. We accompany one of the 20th century's most astute thinkers at her biographical turning points: the rise of fascism, exile, the constant search for answers and – Adolf Eichmann.
In her drama, already celebrated in Denmark, Rhea Leman uses a sharp-witted psychological profile to explore the rift that runs through society to this day.
Arendt was translated from Danish by Henning Bochert.
Premiere 11. October 2025, Thalia Theater
