Given the socio-political situation in Eritrea, how are you supposed to search for and find a new home when the ghostly distortions of your old homeland keep haunting you? "Echoes from Eritrea" sheds light on the tension between home and diaspora and collects moments in which identity threatens one's own freedom. As part of their research, Nina Mattenklotz and her team have collected personal experiences and memories from the Eritrean community that deal with love, flight, surveillance, encounters, arrival and everyday life in Kassel.
The result is an evening about telling and not telling stories. Stories of hope and disappointment, of offices and families, stories about Kassel that paint a multifaceted picture of the Eritrean community and find their "echo" in the music that jazz singer Romy Camerun has compiled and partly composed especially for the production.
