Following the choir’s performance, conducted by Vincent Borritz and Frederike Wendel, four actors and a tar player performed the play “Angry Bird” by the Georgian author Basa Janikashvili. The play won first place this year in the “Talking about Borders” drama competition and sarcastically addresses political and religious fault lines. Wagner Moreira and the students from the body language workshop delivered a spectacular performance: After a performance in the auditorium—during which paper boats, symbolically folded by everyone, were “washed in” through all the windows as the dancers entered the room through them—the film created by the multimedia workshop under the direction of Michael Ziesch was shown in the center of the room. Afterward, all audience members were outfitted with “rain gear” and guided to various locations around the building, where additional moving dance scenes took place.
In the building’s white salon, the works from the visual arts workshop were displayed, including photographic works, a mobile, and a small cabinet in whose drawers stories of refugees had been written down. There was also a panel discussion on the topic “Arriving with Music,” which was co-organized by the Persian tar player Hossein Alizadehfard from Zittau. In the “One Day” exhibition held in the foyer, asylum seekers from Zittau displayed photographs of their daily lives. The Schraubenyeti rounded out the art festival with his midnight concert.
