La ballata di fine millennio - Story Between memory and sarcasm, between a song by Brecht and one by Leonard Cohen, Moni Ovadia researches the identity of an era and of a figure, that of the Jew, who draws new strength from his tragedy. A tango, a waltz and, in between, History: Weimar, the war, internationalism, revolutions and their betrayal, real socialism, a divided Germany, the American myth, together with heart-rending Yiddish songs, Jewish jokes, words and images of some of the great protagonists of our century, from Mayakovsky to Enzensberger. |
