Visit from the Eastern Zone
Fritzi Haberlandt, Milan Peschel, and members of the inclusive RambaZamba Theater read the episode Visit from the Eastern Zone (1973) from Wolfgang Menge’s cult television series Ein Herz und eine Seele (One Heart and One Soul). In the episode, the reactionary Alfred receives relatives visiting from the GDR. Not only are the parents of his “red” son-in-law coming at all — they also arrive right in the middle of the football World Cup coverage. In typically satirical clashes, different worlds collide. It promises to be an extremely cozy evening.
