We are each a museum unto ourselves

Based on a true story, this Pulitzer Prize-winning tour de force explores one of the most singular lives of the 20th Century: antiquities collector Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, who not only survived two of the world’s most repressive regimes in the Nazis and East German Communists, but preserved countless rare Weimar and Jewish cultural artifacts in her East Berlin home all the while.  But as the story goes deeper, what begins as a celebration of queer resilience shifts into a far more complicated portrait of survival, truth, and the cost of living authentically.  

Run time: approximately 2 hours, with one intermission
