Käthe Kollwitz and the theatre

“We haven’t seen ‘Penthesilea’ yet”

Starting February 21, the special exhibition in the former theatre building of Charlottenburg Palace sheds light for the first time on Käthe Kollwitz’s passion for theatre and its influence on her work. It also shows her family’s close connections to the stage during a formative phase of Berlin’s theatre history.
