concert movie about Cato Bontjes van Beek
Sjaella was part of a production about the exceptional woman Cato Bontjes van Beek. She resisted and fought the NS regime and was executed in 1943. Her strongest weapon? Love. Her strongest believe? Love. Her hope for the world? Love.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of her birth we recorded a documental movie with live music (by Helge Burggrabe, Bach, Purcell) and readings by Julia Jentsch.
