edition uhrkamp band 1: leo live

Unlike Galileo from the drama "Life of Galileo" by Bertolt Brecht and Margarete Steffin, Leo is alive now. He has discovered hidden messages in the play: by deleting and overwriting, a new text is created. The copyright of the original, which has prevented contemporary adaptations for over 67 years, is productive friction. The act of negation raises questions about copyleft, artistic cooperation, and Brecht's sexism. Leo breaks with modern ideas of the original play: the reasonable man is not at the center. Who revolves around whom here?
