“Programmheft” brings to life the play “The Peasants,” a speculative exploration of a potential collaboration between the renowned German poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht and the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich as costume designer in 1927. The boundaries between the narrative of their encounter, the stage directions, and the play itself are fluid. This period marked Malevich’s return to a figurative Suprematist style, notably depicting peasants in his paintings.
The publication contains a fragment of the script, historical source texts, photographs of the costumes, a sewing pattern and an insert.
