Discursive empathy test in salon atmosphere
Them? That one? Who there? Are we related, the elephant asks. In preparation for a "musical installation on the good tone of (mis?-) understanding and (non-
?) empathy" at the Kunstfest 2024, the director and musician Schorsch Kamerun wants to find out in a discussion evening with citizens and in a concert how our "being heard" is. After his two music performance interventions in the Deutsches Nationaltheater (»Wem gehört welch Land?«) and on the theater forecourt (»Nervous«-together with students of the Bauhaus University), Kamerun wants to find out in a two-part salon format in the history-rich Hotel Elephant whether we see ourselves "correctly", or why we are increasingly personally hated - altough at the same time we are increasingly "overlooked". On the second evening, Kamerun will set parts of the impressions gained to music with his band RAISON.
