Christine Lehnen and Ina Habermann will be teaming up once again to direct a contribution to the BTHVN 2020 festival, celebrating the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven. The new play will be written by Ellie Lewerenz, recent graduate of the VAULT festival’s new writers programme, and produced by CIRCE theatre. It will be performed in Bonn, Beethoven’s birth place, as well as at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, in 2020. Emphasising Beethoven as a humanist and a European as well as a masterful musician andcomposer, the production has been awarded a generous grant from BTHVN 2020 committee, funded by the Ministry for Culture and Research of Northine-Westfalia as well as German Federal State Secretary for Culture and Media.
