"A Journey from Berlin to Los Angeles"
Ute Lemper's performing career grows out of a passionate and enduring commitment to art, politics and history, and out of a contentious and complicated relationship with her homeland and its past. Her panache, versatility and sophisticated repertoire - including Berlin cabaret songs and the dark gems of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill - have led her to international acclaim as a recording artist, and in the theatre, cabaret and film worlds.
Guest of Honor, Governing Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit.

A Prince Named Totò
Exhibition of Memorabilia
Screenings
Book Presentation
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the death of Antonio De Curtis, known as “Totò,” the Italian Cultural Institute and the De Curtis family present a traveling exhibition which displays unpublished documents on the life and career of this great Neapolitan artist. Born in a working class quarter of Naples in 1898, bearing the title of prince from his father’s family, he was one of the greatest Italian comic actors of the 20th century, as well as being a poet and song writer. From 1936 to 1967, he acted in 97 films, enjoyed by more than 270 million viewers, a record unparalleled in Italian film history. With his commedia dell’arte mask, similar to those of comedic masters Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, he maintained his unique acting style in both comic and dramatic roles until the end, under the direction of such greats as Alberto Lattuada and Pier Paolo Pasolini.
The exhibition brings together fifty panels tracing Totò’s genius, extending from the stage to variety theater, from the big screen to television. In addition to the photos and documents pertaining to his private life and extraordinary career, there will also be on display musical video-clips and poetry manuscripts (few know that Totò wrote approximately forty songs and more than thirty poems), the book A Prince Named Totò (Rizzoli, 2004) and memorabilia, mostly stage costumes. The event also features the West coast premiere of a documentary, Lei non sa chi è Totò (“You Don’t Know Who Totò Is”), produced by Sky Cinema Classic and Cinecittà Entertainment. The film unfolds between interviews with the great Neapolitan actor and other important figures in his life and clips from his many films. Totò often acted without a detailed screenplay and knew how to give a surreal and irreverent character to his performances, accentuated by his peculiar physical presence like that of a puppet.
