Weimar
Dancing on the Edge of a Storm
(FILM TRAILER NOW AVAILABLE)
Weimar—Dancing on the Edge of A Storm explores the dynamic
relationship between art and politics kindled by the abdication of Germany’s
Kaiser Wilhelm II. The formation of Germany’s first democracy resulted,
along with an extraordinary time of introspection and revolution. Following
the profound losses experienced by Germany in World War I, and the Kaiser’s
abdication, the story moves into the November Revolution of 1918, the
Versailles Treaty, and the subsequent restrictions placed on Germany.
Berlin’s Golden Twenties reveal the harsh realities of the great inflation,
riots, and bankruptcy.
Rosa Luxembourg, Walter Rathenau, Bertolt Brecht, Walter
Gropius, Marlene Dietrich, and Fritz Lang are among the Weimar revolutionaries
featured whose creative contributions still have lasting implications
today.
Weimar—Dancing on the Edge of A Storm tells the story of
a mythical and lost paradise which would last only 14 years. The story
includes personal and historical interviews that trace a turbulent journey
in pursuit of political and artistic expression, experimentation, and
discovery.
