Fritz Lang: The Decision is a monologue from and with Stephan Bruckmeier.
Date: November, 25 2011
Venue: Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Time: 7pm
Entrance: Free
Stephan Bruckmeier was born in Vienna, he is an internationally recognized director, actor, author and stage designer. Since 2009 Stephan has worked in the slums of Nairobi and is one of the founders of the Slum Theatre Festival.
The play is based on a novel by Agnès Michaux in which she describes the last hours of the German movie director and producer Fritz Lang before he went into exile. He was very critical of the Hitler-regime and a co-founder of the “Anti-Nazi-League”. After leaving Germany in 1933, Lang lived in Paris for a few months before he finally immigrated to the USA. The author conveys the inner conflicts and disruption of Lang as she summarizes events of several months into a few hours.
Stephan’s realization of the novel deals with questions concerning decisions and inner conflicts like “Should I stay in Germany and risk my life or should I leave Germany and lose my job?”.

The National Museums of Kenya is proud to present an exhibition of paintings by Chege Gitura who is showing his paintings to the public for the first time. For those that know Chege well, he has practiced interior design for several years but until now he had not pursued his basic instinct… to paint. He has duly called his first exhibition New Horizons.
Chege finds his inspiration in people and places, his paintings attempt to capture intricate aspects such as the proportion, body form, the facial expression, the hair, the adornment.. on canvas and oil through generous and fearless applications of thick textural paint using the palette knife technique which intentionally omits fine details, but still portrays the character intended.
Welcome to view this premier show from November 24 to 15 December 2011 at the Creativity Gallery Nairobi National Museum.
Daily 8.30am – 5.30pm
Entrance: Normal rates apply
