A Poetic Look at Wende Biographies from the Perspective of the Next Generation
Performances
Music
This musical evening evokes memories of courage and challenges, of songs and being alive. Slowly a suspicion takes root: change was never the exception, but the rule. At stake are the life experiences that attach to things—song lyrics, smells, and sites. And at stake is how to survive political upheaval and uncertain times. If it was managed before, it can be managed again.
Actor Jördis Wölk and musician Bringfried Löffler present a refreshing dialogue between two generations live on stage. This half sung, half spoken exchange will incorporate material from five interviews conducted in advance. The public is also invited to share their own perspectives. The three ellipses in the title are intended as encouragement to bring one’s own perspective into play.
I am . . . I was . . . I wanted . . . is a production of KOMBINAT kombiniert Tanz und Film g.UG, funded by the Potsdam State Centre for Political Education in cooperation with Treffpunkt Freizeit KUBUS gGmbH, and friendly support from Strobel Rechtsanwälte.
