Wilde Bühne: Meuten Memorial Movement

In the organizer's words:

Walk-in concert installation on Lindenauer Markt | Free with registration

The Leipzig Meuten, groups of young people who came together in Lindenau and Connewitz, but also in the east of Leipzig and in Kleinzschocher, comprised up to 1500 young people who expressed and lived out their non-conformity to Nazi ideology in different ways: secret hiking trips and singing workers' songs were just as much a part of their experience as fights with the HJ, persecution by the Gestapo and prison sentences. From June 2024, a group of young people aged 15 and over will be working at the TDJW on the history of the Meuten and on youth culture and opposition then and now. In April 2025, the results will be presented as a music-theatrical performance at Lindenauer Markt under the artistic direction of director and musician Schorsch Kamerun. When does non-conformity become opposition and when does opposition become resistance?

SOUNDS OF RESISTANCE is a cooperation between Theater der Jungen Welt Leipzig and Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf/Duisburg

The SOUNDS OF RESISTANCE project is funded by the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ) and the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) as part of the educational agenda on Nazi injustice.
