Our individual cosmos goes far beyond the duration of our own lives. Our lives are marked by traces of previous generations: privileges, secrets, repressed traumatic events, hidden crimes, changed names, forgotten relatives, family rituals, photo albums, heirlooms and expressions...
In Hans-Werner Kroesinger's project, you will develop small personal performances that are research trips into your own past through the last 100 years, an encounter with your own history. The audience is invited to engage in an intimate dialogue with the performers, to listen to another's stories and thereby begin to think about their own past.
Prior to the workshop you should choose a personal item (e.g. a photo, a letter etc.) and bring it with you to Berlin. It will be of use in the workshop as a starting point of the performance.

Hans-Werner Kroesinger, director and author, Berlin
