DAS ICH IM WIR - World Premiere

Description

Their story is far less known than that of the White Rose or the resistance around Stauffenberg: to find courage - despite everything, a group of young people in Berlin in the 1930s managed to do so and stood against the fascist system. They distributed leaflets, sabotaged arms factories, and provided escape assistance. DAS ICH IM WIR tells the story of the Jewish-Communist resistance group around Marianne and Herbert Baum, who became active out of political conviction; out of solidarity and the decision not to watch passively. In a coming-of-age spoken theater piece, we meet young people searching for ways to act in a world full of threats. What gives us stability when circumstances overwhelm us? When does stance turn into resistance? And how do we preserve hope when our own freedom is at stake? Theater author Carolin Millner, with her collective Eleganz aus Reflex, expands the collective memory and Berlin city history with a Jewish resistance narrative. Historical events meet the perspective of a young generation. Acting, choreography, music, stage, costume, and film/video come together in an evening of theater that not only tells the story of the Baum group but makes it physically and immediately experiencable. A piece about resistance and remembrance and the decision not to look away. And about what we would do ourselves when it matters.
