REMIGRIERT EUCH INS KNIE

A performative reading by activists and those who want to become such.

We follow the orange signs of the Last Genera - tion along the Straße des 17. Juni. They lead us past hundreds of tractors waiting (with dormant engines) for tomorrow's performance. It is grey outside and an icy wind blows a piece of paper around our feet with the face of a missing Israe - li. From all sides, small groups and individuals walk in our direction. On the right, a young man with headphones and a picture of a fist raised in battle on his smartphone. Women, life, freedom. On the left, a Ukrainian family, the daughters wearing woven flower garlands around their hats. Behind us, a couple embracing in a kufiya. In front of us, the Brandenburg Gate, wrapped in banners against the AfD. What at first glance appears to be a teeming image of a thriving and united protest landscape, at second glance de - scribes a field of dissonances. The complexity of perspectives and issues that offers considerable potential for conflict in the media and on the streets also raises questions about one's own affiliations and solidarity. Based on collective challenges and states of powerlessness, multimedia artist Paula Holz - hauer and actress Tamara Semzov examine the effectiveness, necessity and diversity of protest.
