Heiner Müller's Discovery of America

NYC: Segal Center’s all-day symposium on Dec 19th will trace Müller’s artistic and political thinking and artistic practice during his American journeys, where he witnessed the decline of Socialism at home and the rise of Neo‑Capitalism in the U.S. Screenings will include video excerpts of Der Mann im Fahrstuhl / The man in the Elevator – part of Heiner Müller’s play The Mission – directed by Heiner Goebbels, partly spoken by Heiner Müller.
