Occident and Morning Star

This year's art festival at Haus Klingewalde was celebrated on the theme of the Occident and the Morning Star.

Every semester, the Bachelor students on the

undefinedculture and management course

take part in various artistic workshops. The results of the summer semester were presented on June 20. A total of five workshop leaders in the fields of acting, body language, visual arts, choir and multimedia supervised the students and helped them to deal with the theme "Occident and Morning Star". The same theme was appropriately chosen at a time of scary "nationalist movements" and the tense asylum policy.

After the choir's performance under the direction of Vincent Borritz and Frederike Wendel, four actors and a tar player performed the play "Angry Bird" by Georgian author Basa Janikashvili. This year's winner of the "Talking about Borders" drama competition, the play takes a sarcastic look at the political and religious front lines and was given a brilliant performance by Wagner Moreira and the students of the body language workshop: After a performance in the hall, in which symbolically folded paper boats were flooded in from all the windows as the dancers entered the room through them, the film from the multimedia workshop led by Michael Ziesch was shown in the middle of the room. Afterwards, all the spectators were equipped with "rainwear" and led around the building to various locations where further moving dance scenes took place.

The works of the visual arts workshop were shown in the white salon of the building, including photographic works, a mobile and a cabinet in which refugee stories were written down in drawers. There was also a discussion on the topic of "Arriving with music", which was co-hosted by Persian tar player Hossein Alizadehfard from Zittau. In the "One Day" exhibition in the foyer, asylum seekers from Zittau showed photographs of their everyday lives. The Schraubenyeti rounded off the art festival with its midnight concert.
