Chang in a Void Moon / Episode #58 © David Baltzer / ZENIT
The “Chang” series is the world’s longest-running theatre soap opera. It began in 1979 as a short film, and soon after, its inventor John Jesurun put it on stage. The first thirty-six episodes ran from June 1982 to April 1983 at the Pyramid Club in New York, a venue usually used for punk concerts. Episode 58 is being written and produced specially for Berlin. Chang is a businessman involved in a complex weave of history, geography and family – the twenty-five years of the show’s existence have created a massive parallel universe.
