RAUMFAHRER
Eine szenische Action-Lesung zur Dtv Buchpremiere Raumfahrer von Lukas Rietzschel
By and with: Lukas Rietzschel, Cornelia Werner, Sven Hönig, Cornelius Pollmer & Romy Schmidt
In the novel Raumfahrer, author Lukas Rietzschel, writes a reflection on memory, art and the "after", telling the story of two families in Saxony from the GDR to the present: Jan and his parents don't talk much about today and certainly not about yesterday. It is only when Mr. Kern shows up that the fragile balance of the family begins to falter. What was Jan's mother's relationship with Mr. Kern's father? And what do the Kerns have to do with the art of Georg Baselitz? Jan works his way further and further through the silence of several generations, immerses himself in the history of the Baselitz brothers, the history of his parents, and understands that the present does not only consist of his own past. Gently and full of empathy, Lukas Rietzschel draws an impressive picture of the shaping of people by major social and political changes — and of the wounds that run through generations and seem never to heal.
To artistically voice this important contribution to the debate about the German post-reunification processes and their implications for the younger generations, Romy Schmidt designed a staged reading with Rietzschel and a collective team, which premiered in June 2021 in cooperation with the Görlitz City Library at the Werk 1 Sociocultural Center in Görlitz, East Saxony.
In Kooperation mit der Stadtbibliothek Görlitz & RABRYKA im Werk
