Quote:
Die Nacht – a gigantic dramatic monologue in four parts like Wagner’s Ring – was produced as a film after first performances at the Theâtre des Amandiers in Paris in autumn 1984. Throughout six hours, Edith Clever plays poems, prose texts, letters, speeches, and dramatic roles invoking grief and farewell, doom and the nearness of death. The montage of poetic subject matter spans from Goethe and Kleist, Platon and Hölderlin, Novalis and Jean Paul to the Indian chief Seattle’s speech and texts by Hans Jürgen Syberberg.Read More »

The story itself is very simple, a lady loses a pearl necklace on the street, an old beggar picks it up, observed by a prostitute who tries to outwit him, while a third younger man out of a job who comes to the beggar’s shack complicates the situation.Read More »
