Spielen, Flechten und Trauerarbeit

In the organizer's words:

What role can the links between music and mourning play in times of crisis? And what potential lies in an intergenerational exchange on questions of identity, grief and collective memory? The artist and musician Elischa Kaminer, who lives in Frankfurt and London, explores these questions in his production "sing of strings of love and rage" (working title), which will be premiered in November. Kaminer will provide insights into his work at two events.

On 3 September, a discussion with Laura Cazés, publicist and head of the Communication and Digitization Department of the Central Welfare Office of Jews in Germany (ZWST), and Kaminer's father, the psychoanalyst and psychotherapeutic supervisor of the Frankfurt meeting place for Shoah survivors Isidor Kaminer, will address questions about the interfaces between music, mourning work and the history of Jewish social work in Germany.

On September 7, Elischa Kaminer will present the first musical elements of the music theater production "sing of strings of love and rage" (working title) in an intimate concert. The source material for this are liturgical and traditional chants (zemirot), which Kaminer will adapt as part of his production in order to establish a new diasporic and queer-Yiddishe song tradition about caring.
