DIETRICH
About this Event
Based on actual events, backstage at the Titania- Palast Theater, Dietrich weighs whether to risk performing.
DIETRICH is a 90-minute, one-woman, play with music that has been critically acclaimed from L.A. to Palm Springs and NYC. Inspired by the legendary Marlene Dietrich and based on actual events, this is a captivating night of theater. The play takes audiences on a journey through the star's storied life: from her departure from Berlin, Germany, in 1930 (with encouragement from film director Josef von Sternberg to join one of the Hollywood studios); to her rise to fame in Hollywood; to being approached by the Nazi party to contribute to their propaganda and refusing to do so; to her political activism. In the intimate setting of her dressing room, the beloved cultural icon interweaves personal anecdotes and reflections that expose her multifaceted personality. This is not just a tribute but a nuanced exploration of the woman behind the myth.
