Student ensemble: guest performance "History has us again"

Kathleen Morgeneyer comes from Karl-Marx-Stadt, Sabine Rennefanz from Eisenhüttenstadt, two working-class towns in the GDR. They were schoolchildren when the Wall came down. They talk about their families, the fall of the Wall, the time of extreme upheaval in the 1990s, about their brothers who stayed in the East and drifted away, their working-class fathers who lost their companies and their status. They also talk about the loneliness after the war that fathers and mothers passed on to their children and granddaughters. Their texts written especially for this evening - monologues, essays, dialogs - tell of the difficulties of entering into conversation between the generations, sometimes radically subjective, sometimes coolly distanced. They are attempts to approach writing in order to understand.
