Auf Freiheit zugeschnitten

The novel biography Auf Freiheit zugeschnitten by German author Margret Greiner, adapted for the stage by theater director Sarantos G. Zervoulakos and dramaturge Miriam V. Lesch, tells the story of the emancipation of Emilie Flöge—an exceptional artist, entrepreneur, and partner of Gustav Klimt—and at the same time provides a micrograph of the social and artistic movements in Vienna, a city on the cusp of modernity. A city that no longer exists today.

Emilie Flöge is remembered as Klimt's muse, as the woman in “The Kiss.” Her independently achieved life's work has been unjustly forgotten. Sarantos G. Zervoulakos' production gives this protagonist of Viennese modernism the narrative she deserves and, with great affection and humor, asks in several languages: Does the muse have a gender?
