JEDER STIRBT FÜR SICH ALLEIN
In the organizer's words:
by Hans Fallada
A production by The Beautiful Minds.
What does resistance mean? When do I become active? And why?
Anna and Otto Quangel also ask themselves this question - based on their Gestapo files, Hans Fallada wrote the first German resistance novel after the war. For a long time, the Quangels were fellow travelers in the Nazi regime, but now they want to resist. But they are quiet people who have nothing to do with resistance or organized underground struggle. What form of resistance suits them?
The two actors Lisa Bihl and Jonas Baeck lead the audience in the roles of Otto and Anna Quangel on an audio walk through Cologne to the former Messelager. The Quangels' intimate chamber play comes to life in front of a living room window from the 1940s. The audience discovers anti-fascist postcards in public spaces.
Director Stefan Herrmann combines Fallada's novel with real life stories of those persecuted by the Nazis. The story of a person persecuted as Jewish is retold by Eva Majbour from the ZWEITZEUGEN e.V. association. The young Cologne Sintiza Alana Polak tells her personal family story and thus represents the perspective of the Sintizzeand Romnja.
At a time when around ten million people in Germany vote in far-right elections and around the same number of people don't vote at all, this audio walk performance is about running, courage and taking action on a small scale.
