Gioia Osthoff & Devid Striesow - Kultur.Sommer.Semmering

What's it about?

Devid Striesow and Gioia Osthoff dedicate themselves to the relationship of two great personalities who have strongly shaped our thinking. A relationship in which love and power, dependence and emancipation are inextricably intertwined. In the decades-long correspondence between Anna Freud and Sigmund Freud, there is far more than family correspondence: it is a workspace, a sanctuary, and a field of tension in which closeness and distance, care, loyalty, and detachment are reflected. Anna Freud - not only as the daughter of a genius - but as an independent thinker, scientist, and pioneer, grows here from child to woman. Sigmund Freud accompanies her as an approachable father. Between being overwhelmed and enthusiastic, he is always her tireless guide. An evening that paints an intimate portrait of two people who would be inconceivable without each other. The historical events of the time and their challenges become palpable and surprise with their contemporaneity. Language, voice, and sound open a space for listening, in which thought processes, doubts, and conflicts are as present as affection, humor, and everyday life.
