Hayat Habibi*s : Der Verdacht - Esther Dischereit

In the organizer's words:

Squeezed between the wealth of a banking city and the remains of the former Jewish cemetery, the underdogs are at home: illegalized people, immigrants, criminalized people, artists and petty thieves. The area also thrives on brothels, erotic bars and addictions of all kinds. Occasionally, the "big players" of the business pass by, those who have become rich in gambling and speculation.

The author Esther Dischereit has two characters appear in this panorama. A policeman who describes the supposed reality of this neighborhood in all its harshness. And a café owner who is confronted with the mechanisms of gentrification. If the investor can "buy" this man, the displacement of the residents should no longer be a problem. A predominantly migrant neighborhood is literally facing the Moloch that is swallowing it up. Huge construction fences announce it. People are watching, joining in. The game has long since begun. In between, the sirens of the police cars sound as they take you away again. A haunting text about the desire to profit and the danger of losing everything.
