Why Do Actors Eat Potato Soup?" tells the story of how Duke George II, actress Ellen Franz, and actor Ludwig Kroneck grew tired of routine, and how critic Otto Brahm grew tired of his profession. It also explores the origins and purpose of the director's position, playwrights who were not afraid to go to the bottom for the sake of artistic truth, and actors who bought costumes from second-hand stores. And also Konstantin Stanislavsky and Maxim Gorky. Lecturer: Zoya Borozdinova, theater scholar, specialist in 20th-century German theater, and graduate student at the State Institute of Art Studies.
