Studio Urbanistan: Nach der Bahn die Wende

An audio-theater experience about origins, futures, and learning to swim

Summer at the outdoor pool: the air smells of chlorine, French fries, and sunscreen. Hordes of children run screaming through the scene, retirees sunbathe on warm stone slabs, and swimmers do their laps. Whether in Leipzig or Bremen, Erfurt, Weimar, or Stuttgart: between the slide, the lawn, and the kiosk, society gathers here at the poolside. A perfect place for the collective STUDIO URBANISTAN to explore personal stories of German-German identity. How do people here talk about »East« and »West«? Equipped with headphones, the audience enters the Schwanseebad after closing time and get immersed in a performance about subtle social differences, formative backgrounds, mental boundaries, and where they blur.

Please wear weatherproof clothing.
