Three artists and their teams, who are connected to HELLERAU and the Saxon-East German region and history in very different ways, are developing short pieces that take up various aspects of the search for traces in the 1990s and transfer them to the present day.
Mike Dele Dittrich Frydetzki/Raiko Sánchez
Based on their experiences as softies and "Schisser", the two artists examine their own biographical experiences as well as well-known myths in relation to youthful masculinity in the rural areas of East Germany in the 1990s for their short piece. They see fragile potential in the baseball bat and use it to explore their (dis)desire for violence.
Minh Duc Pham
For "Spurensuche" in HELLERAU, Minh Duc Pham deals with the consequences of contract work and the fall of the Berlin Wall for Vietnamese contract workers in the GDR.
Irina Pauls
The concrete upheavals in the East are reflected in many of her choreographic and performative works. The site-specific artistic response to (industrial) landscapes is becoming increasingly important in Irina Pauls' artistic work and is also the subject of her short piece.
