THE BANALITY OF LOVE
FEATURING:
Hannah Arendt (Old): Karen MacDonald*, Elliot Norton & IRNE Award Winner; Martin Heidegger (Old): Thomas Derrah*, Elliot Norton & IRNE Award Winner; Martin Heidegger (Young): Gabriel Kuttner*; Hannah Arendt (Young): Rebecca Opstad; and Ben-Shaked/Mendelsohn: Jordan Ahnquist*
DIRECTOR: Guy Ben-Aharon
SYNOPSIS: The complex relationship between Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger, from their first encounter as student and teacher in 1924 to their meeting after the war in 1950. Their story raises ethical questions about how politics and philosophy relate to real life. In the background is the one-sided love affair between German Jews and German culture as an echo of the one-sided love affair between Arendt and Heidegger.
PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP with Boston University, Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies, Combined Jewish Philanthropies (Israel Campus Roundtable) and StandWithUs
