Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Context_1 : Drums in the Night ("Trommeln in der Nacht") is a play by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht. Brecht wrote it between 1919 and 1920, and it received its first theatrical production in 1922. It is in the expressionist style of Ernst Toller and Georg Kaiser. The play—along with "Baal" and "In the Jungle"—won the Kleist Prize for 1922 (although it was widely assumed, perhaps because "Drums" was the only play of the three to have been produced at that point, that the prize had been awarded to "Drums" alone); the play was performed all over Germany as a result. Brecht later claimed that he had only written it as a source of income. Context_2 : Aline Valangin was a Swiss writer, pianist, and psychoanalyst. In Zurich she was follower of Carl Jung and became a psychoanalyst. With Vladimir Rosenbaum (1894–1984, her husband from 1917 to 1940), at Comologno she helped and played host to migrants as Ignazio Silone, Ernst Toller, and Kurt Tucholsky. In 1931, she loved Silone, read his masterpiece "Fontamara", and helped him to publish it. Context_3 : Die Welt ist schön ("The World is Beautiful") is a 1928 book of photography by German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch. A popular work at the time, "Die Welt ist schön" is generally considered one of the most important books of photography published in the Weimar Republic, and as an iconic example of the photography of New Objectivity. Renger-Patzsch's book provoked emphatic reactions upon release: while contemporaries such as Ernst Toller and Thomas Mann praised "Die Welt ist schön", it was sharply criticized by figures like Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht, who felt that Renger-Patzsch's work was too beholden to a naive idea of photographic realism and ended up aestheticizing everything, thus obscuring social realities. Context_4 : Ernst Toller (1 December 1893 – 22 May 1939) was a German left-wing playwright, best known for his Expressionist plays. He served in 1919 for six days as President of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, and was imprisoned for five years for his actions. He wrote several plays and poetry during that period, which gained him international renown. They were performed in London and New York as well as Berlin. In 2000, several of his plays were published in an English translation. Context_5 : Elinor Lipman (born October 16, 1950) is an American novelist, short story writer, and essayist. Context_6 : The League for Proletarian Culture (German: "Bund für proletarische Kultur" ) was a short-lived German left-wing organisation for the promotion of proletarian culture. It was founded in Berlin in spring 1919 by Alfons Goldschmidt, Arthur Holitscher, and Ludwig Rubiner and was dissolved in early 1920. It sought to promote "the eternal values bequeathed by the illustrious spirits of the past." Under the auspices of the experimental theatre the Tribüne (founded in September 1919), it staged Ernst Toller's "Transformation" ("Die Wandlung"), which opened on 30 September 1919 with a cast that included Fritz Kortner. The production ran into difficulties in mid-October, however, when some of its cast refused to play for metalworkers who were on strike at the time, which led to the termination of the relationship between the League and the Tribüne. The director Karlheinz Martin and dramaturg Rudolf Leonhard, both of whom had worked on the Toller production, formed the "Proletarian Theatre of the League for Proletarian Culture" ("Proletarisches Theater des Bundes für proletarische Kultur"). It produced Herbert Kranz's "Freedom" ("Freiheit"), which opened on 14 December 1919 on the platform of the Philharmonic Hall. Despite the production's success, having filled the auditorium, only one performance was given. The newspaper "The Red Flag" ("Rote Fahne") thought that in its promotion of individual self-realisation through self-sacrifice the play adopted an anarchist political position. Context_7 : Ernst-Toller-Preis is a Bavarian literary prize, awarded every two years in the name of Ernst Toller. Context_8 : Pastor Hall is a 1940 British drama film directed by Roy Boulting and starring Wilfrid Lawson, Nova Pilbeam, Seymour Hicks, among others. The film is based on the play of the same title by German author Ernst Toller who had lived as an emigrant in the United States until his suicide in 1939. The U.S. version of the film opened with a prologue by Eleanor Roosevelt denouncing the Nazis, and her son James Roosevelt presented the film in the US through United Artists. Context_9 : A Mad Idea or A Crazy Idea (German:Ein toller Einfall) is a 1932 German comedy film directed by Kurt Gerron and starring Willy Fritsch, Dorothea Wieck and Rosy Barsony. Context_10 : Then She Found Me is a 2007 American comedy-drama film directed by Helen Hunt. The screenplay by Hunt, Alice Arlen, and Victor Levin is very loosely based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Elinor Lipman. The film marked Hunt's feature film directorial debut. fact_1 : Elinor Lipman (born October 16, 1950) is an American novelist, short story writer, and essayist. fact_2 : Ernst Toller (1 December 1893 – 22 May 1939) was a German left-wing playwright, best known for his Expressionist plays.
