Teutonistan. Vom Schweigen. Sprechen. Widersprechen.

In the organizer's words:

About a country that is reluctant to remember.

What if the history of Germany is told anew - from the perspective of the people who are ignored? While right-wing parties are making headlines with 'remigration', Teutonistan is taking a stand against it - with empowering stories, angry sounds and memories of solidarity.

Teutonistan is an interdisciplinary music and theater project that retells migrant history in Germany - empowering, poetic, radical. The focus is on the voices of so-called guest workers and their descendants: Their stories, their sounds, their perspectives on belonging, language and resistance. In a field of tension between documentary research, literature, composition and performance, a multi-layered stage installation is created that makes memory audible and visible.

Inspired by the classic Turkish novel "Die Haltlosen" by Oğuz Atay and musically inspired by the award-winning project "Songs of Gastarbeiter", Teutonistan interweaves historical sources, oral history, filmic elements and live music to create a scenic collage about migration, language, everyday life and the persistence of racism - then and now. It tells the story of arrival in a foreign country, the language barriers and the present of racist violence and right-wing ideologies.

Teutonistan tells a different German story - from a migrant perspective. An artistic antithesis to the backward steps of our time. A plea for a new, united us.
