loveletters

Spanning from the Middle Ages right through to the 20th century, they have compiled love letters from famous figures (including Mozart, Oscar Wilde and Marilyn Monroe). Legendary correspondence and curious telegram messages are also featured.

These texts offer not only an insight into the inner lives of their authors, but also into the respective eras in which they were written. The whole experience is enhanced by atmospheric guitar music and sounds from a loop machine, as well as a few songs. Electronic love messages in the form of text messages round off the programme. This leaves us with a glimpse of what might lie ahead if, one day, handwritten letters cease to exist altogether…

Sebastian Zett trained as an actor in Berlin and has worked with, amongst others, Roman Polanski (“The Pianist”), Josephine Larsen and Michael Schweighöfer.

This was followed by the founding of the Berlin-based lux-theater, where he worked as a director for ten years and staged over 40 productions. Guest performances took him to Russia, England, Spain and the Czech Republic, amongst other places. At the same time, he wrote plays and also performed as a chanson singer. Since 2016, he has been touring with his own programmes, which he performs together with fellow musicians, whilst also appearing regularly on screen (including for ARD).
