Martial arts and class struggle – and love: With force and pace, the author and director Helene Hegemann tells of the moment one must allow weakness.

N lives on a railway line that connects a troubled district with the villa area on the other side of the city. Two worlds. N knows both. And a third: the martial arts school where she teaches, prepares for competitions, and begins an affair with a politician from the defense committee. Contrasts shape her existence: poor and rich, powerlessness and muscle building, utmost discipline and boundless aggression against oneself.

Together with Munich actors Katharina Bach and Elias Krischke, Helene Hegemann reads a dramatized text version of her new, electrifying novel (Kiepenheuer & Witsch). Afterwards, she talks with Literature Festival curator Daniel Schreiber about wealth and repression, and about martial arts as home, outlet, and language.

Discussion afterwards: DANIEL SCHREIBER

Organizer: Literaturfest München. In cooperation with the Munich Kammerspiele
