Often copied, never equalled. The performance of “Italienische Nacht” by Ödön von Horváth – combined with “Confession 99” – established the success of 400asa. Armed with a poisonous green Suhrkamp booklet (stage directions are of course spoken) and seated at a long table, the comrades within the anti-fascist Schutzbund argue during the Weimar Republic. Tragic, comic, choral, rhythmic, the 400asa classic par excellence!
