Latest Events in Berlin(November Updated)

Reading and research group for the devised play THE LITTLE BLACK FISH organised by Aline Suter, Caroline Canzler & Peri Nuranikhoshkhow Resistance – made up of the Latin prefix re- (meaning against ) and sistere (meaning to stand ) – is a concept that hasn’t played a major role in German public discourse for quite some time. Resistance might come up briefly in history class, whether in connection with the anti-fascist struggles in Europe or the Vietnam War. But while institutions and media often look back nostalgically at historical political resistance, praising the courage and dedication of those involved, current resistance movements are demonised, and their supporters are marginalised. Over the past year, we’ve seen this dynamic play out again in Germany. In our discussion group, we aim to critically engage with international anti-fascist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-colonial resistance groups. Together, we will research, discuss, and share ideas – without romanticising or demonising any of these movements. What are the things we need to resist? What does it mean to resist? Where does resistance begin, and where does it end? What parallels can we find among movements around the world, and what kinds of international solidarity emerge? What drives people to go against the grain, despite all the dangers? “What is the value of life or death for life itself?” – wonders the little black fish. At the heart of our discussion is the Iranian literary fairy tale The Little Black Fish – written in the 1960s by the writer, folklorist, and teacher Samad Behrangi. This story serves as an allegory for resistance and the quest for a better world. It’s considered one of the most significant political works of art in 20th-century Iran. Using this tale as our foundation, we will explore resistance movements in places like Palestine, Sudan, and Chile – looking at their similarities and differences, and asking ourselves what lessons we can draw from them. Our discussion sessions will eventually lead to the development of a theatre piece on the same theme, with the fairy tale as the thread that ties it all together, woven with international songs of resistance. DATES: November 3rd, 14-19pm: Freedom! November 17th, 14-19pm December 1st, 14-19pm December 15th, 14-19pm LANGUAGES: German, English REQUIREMENTS: We would like to ask you to read read the play in its entirety in preparation for the meetings. We will only ever read excerpts at the individual meetings. You can find the play under the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1haY__8sW5sZNYOqbffY3CkaycdY7k_Dc/view?usp=sharing For the first session we would also like to invite you to bring a story, thought or object on the subject of freedom to the meeting to share with us.

Widerstand wurde vielleicht im Geschichtsunterricht gestreift, sei es im Zusammenhang mit dem antifaschistischen Kampf in Europa oder dem Vietnamkrieg. Doch während Institutionen und Medien sich im Nachhinein an den historischen politischen Widerstand romantisierend zurückerinnert, den Mut und das Engagement der Teilnehmenden bewundert, werden Widerstandsbewegungen, die aktuell passieren, dämonisiert und ihre Anhänger geächtet. Seit etwa einem Jahr können wir genau dieses Phänomen auch wieder in Deutschland beobachten. In unserer Diskussionsgruppe wollen wir uns mit internationalen antifaschistischen, antiimperialistischen, antikapitalistischen und antikolonialen Widerstandsgruppen kritisch auseinandersetzen, gemeinsam recherchieren und uns austauschen, ohne dabei Bewegungen zu romantisieren oder zu dämonisieren. Wogegen müssen wir Widerstand leisten? Was bedeutet es, Widerstand zu leisten? Wo fängt Widerstand an und wo hört er auf? Welche Parallelen gibt es zwischen den verschiedenen Bewegungen weltweit, und welche Form von internationaler Solidarität zeigt sich? Was hat Menschen trotz aller Gefahren dazu bewogen, sich gegen den Strom zu stellen? “Welchen Wert trägt das Leben oder der Tod für das Leben?”- fragt sich der kleine schwarze Fisch. Kern und roter Faden ist dabei das iranische Kunstmärchen Der kleine Schwarze Fisch - geschrieben in den 60er Jahren von dem Schriftsteller, Märchensammler und Lehrer Samad Behrangi. Die Erzählung ist eine Allegorie auf den Widerstand und das Streben nach einer besseren Welt und das wichtigste politische Kunstwerk im Iran des 20. Jahrhunderts. Anhand dieser Geschichte diskutieren und besprechen wir Widerstandsbewegungen aus unter anderem Palästina, Sudan, Chile - untersuchen ihre Gemeinsamkeiten und ihre Unterschiede und was für Lehren wir aus diesen Bewegungen ziehen können. Auf den Diskussionsgruppen aufbauend, wird es eine Stückentwicklung zu demselben Thema geben, mit dem Märchen als roten Faden, verwoben mit internationalen Widerstandsliedern. TERMINE: 3. November, 14-19pm: Freiheit! 17. November, 14-19pm 1. December, 14-19pm 15. December, 14-19pm SPRACHEN: Deutsch, Englisch VORAUSSETZUNGEN: Wir möchten euch bitten, das Stück in Vorbereitung auf die Treffen komplett zu lesen. Wir werden bei den einzelnen Treffen immer nur Auszüge lesen. Sie finden das Stück unter folgendem Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1haY__8sW5sZNYOqbffY3CkaycdY7k_Dc/view?usp=sharing Für die erste Sitzung möchten wir Sie auch einladen, eine Geschichte, einen Gedanken oder ein Objekt zum Thema Freiheit mitzubringen, um es mit uns zu teilen.

Sense“ Dienstag, 19. November 24 Werner Fritsch liest. „Hydra Krieg“ Dienstag, 26. November 24 Mit: Werner Fritsch Christoph Nußbaumeder Andreas Lechner * 20:00 Uhr (Einlass: 19 Uhr) * Karten an Abendkasse: 12€ Karten über eventbrite Galerie & Bar Tor218 Artlab Torstr. 218, 10115 Berlin Eine Veranstaltung von Werner Fritsch im Tor218 Artklub Zu SENSE Der Monolog SENSE schildert den Krieg in der Ukraine vor achtzig Jahren aus der Perspektive eines Bauern, der daran teilgenommen hat. Lukas Schnurrer schildert den so gnaden- wie sinnlosen Kampf und die russische Kriegsgefangenschaft. Noch immer ist Lukas erotisch besessen von den Ukrainerinnen, zugleich traumatisiert vom großen Morden. Aber auch die aktuelle Landwirtschaftspolitik bringt den alten Bauern auf die Barrikaden. SENSE mit Hans Brenner als Lukas Schnurrer erhielt den Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden. Werner Fritsch, der SENSE selber uraufgeführt hat am Schauspiel Bonn, wird den Monolog lesen. Zu HYDRA KRIEG Das Stück kreist um Medea, Jason und die Argonautenfahrt als Raubzug, der zeitenübergreifend einen islamistischen Terrorakt provoziert. Jason verläßt Medea, seine beiden Kinder und zieht in den Krieg. Der Krieg verändert Jason: Er wird der Todfeind seines Landes. Am Schluß sitzt Jonas, der einst Jason hieß, im Cockpit eines von ihm entführten Flugzeugs, um es gegen ein Gebäude zu steuern. Unter den Passagieren sind seine Kinder. Werner Fritsch schreibt den Medea-Mythos neu. Gleichzeitig versucht er, mit dem Text ins Zentrum einer terroristischen Attacke vorzudringen. Hydra Krieg ist der kühne Versuch, Archaik und Aktualität zu verbinden. »Hydra Krieg« wurde in Linz uraufgeführt mit Käthe Reichel, der Muse Bertolt Brechts. Es lesen u.a. Werner Fritsch, Chrsitoph Nußbaumeder, Andreas Lechner Werner Fritsch, 1960 in Waldsassen/Oberpfalz geboren, hat seit den 90er Jahren insgesamt 44Theaterstücke geschrieben, dazu Hörspiele und Prosa. Von seinem 24-Stunden-Film »Faust Sonnengesang« sind vier von insgesamt acht Teilen fertig­gestellt. Das Werk wie auch andere im Gespräch genannte Stücke sind bei Suhr­kamp als DVDs und als Bücher erschienen. Information Source: Tor218 Artklub | eventbrite

Romantisch oder explizit unromantisch, Mel’s innere Zwiegespaltenheit zeigt sich im Angesicht von Intimität. Wäre man allein, ohne Freunde, Familie und Geliebte, müsste man schließlich niemanden verlassen. Es geht weder um richtig noch um falsch. Es geht um die Versionen des Lebens zwischen denen Mel hin und her springt. Ein Leben, dass man nicht lebt, ist voller Möglichkeiten und Geheimnisse, Momente, die man nicht erleben wird. Man weiß, dass es sie gibt, diese Momente. Bleich, wie die verblassenden Linien eines Stempels, die mit jedem Waschen der Hände dünner werden. Das Stück des jungen Ensembles um Lea Reinhardt ist im Juli sehr erfolgreich gelaufen und wird nun wegen großer Nachfrage wieder aufgenommen.

Mit STARMAN hat der renommierte Comiczeichner Reinhard Kleist dem britischen Musikidol David Bowie ein beeindruckendes zeichnerisches Denkmal gesetzt. Am 26. November 2024 folgt mit LOW die lang erwartete Fortsetzung: Reinhard Kleist setzt David Bowie in Westberlin in Szene, während er nach Inspiration sucht und sein Album LOW aufnimmt. Noch vor dem Erscheinen des Comics feiern wir das Release in einem Ort, der Musikgeschichte schrieb: dem Meistersaal! David Bowie, der diesen als 'The Big Hall by the Wall' bezeichnete, nahm hier 1977 die Alben LOW und HEROES auf, genau so wie Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, U2 und viele mehr. Passend dazu erwartet die Gäste bei der Release-Party ein Live-Drawing-Konzert, bei dem Reinhard Kleist zu Bowie-Songs, live interpretiert von The Good Sons (http://goodsons-band.de), zeichnet. Im Gespräch mit Gesa Ufer (rbb) gewährt Kleist Einblicke in seine Comic-Werkstatt und den intensiven Rechercheprozess für den aufwendig gestalteten Comic-Band. Ein DJ-Set von disco volante aka Martin Lippert sorgt für den perfekten Ausklang der Party! Information Source: Carlsen Verlag | eventbrite

The division between arts and crafts has been the subject of numerous debates and influences the way people look at pottery. This problematic distinction is seen in many creative sectors, including textile arts and ceramics, often in the realm of feminine work . There are many ways to define the difference between art and crafts and very little agreement on the right way to make this distinction. Some speak of usefulness versus aesthetic quality. Some speak of art as something that transcends the here and now and makes a statement about culture. The exhibition will display a range of functional and non-functional pieces by contemporary artists who have been working in our studio. We hope the exhibition, in a place of active craft as opposed to a sterile gallery - a working ceramics studio - will encourage discussion. The vernissage will take place on November 22nd between 7pm and 9pm at our studio. The pieces will then remain in our studio for a week, serving as a backdrop to our classes and workshops, so you can observe them and engage in the conversation.

Performing in both English and Arabic, she draws from her unique background—born in the UAE, raised in Jordan, with a Palestinian father and Turkish mother. Now she's taken her comedy to Germany to 'make it'—because what's funnier than chasing a dream in a country known for its sense of humor? When asked where she's from, she famously quips, 'How much time do you have?'—and the audience knows they're in for a wild, hilarious ride!

The show represents a study on the concept of total institutions as termed by Erving Goffman. The Turin-born, Berlin-based artist conducted her research over nearly two decades. The exhibition title references Jeremy Bentham's concept of the ideal prison, from which a guard, stationed in a central watchtower can observe all inmates without their knowledge. This built-in system of control mirrors the conditions of individuals living in total institutions, a term developed by Erving Goffman, which refers to places where people are actively isolated from broader societal interactions and their daily activities are strictly regulated by a central authority. The retrospective features works from Vitari's major series, focusing on three instances of total institutions. ● Percorsogalera (2007-09) explores the stories of inmates at the Lorusso e Cutugno penitentiary in Turin, Italy. ● Le città invisibili (2009-13) centers on the experiences of Radio Nikosia, an anti-psychiatry project based in Barcelona, Spain. ● Identità Interstiziali (2014 - ongoing) investigates the struggles of political refugees and asylum-seeking people in Berlin. Vitari’s experimentation with materials reflects the need to find new communication tools. The use of glass renders this process transparent yet complex and multilayered, while the use of silk-screening allows the incorporation of the stories and sketches of those living in total institutions. The glass objects are framed in iron structures, a cold, rigid material symbolizing the inflexibility that keeps individuals in these institutions detached from society. Social tensions are fixed in glass and exposed like a brutal social experiment. Through large-scale installations that border on performative acts, the show Panopticon aims to shed light on marginalized, almost invisible people. Vitari's ethnographic, psychological, and sociological research, conducted through the study of the scientific literature, allowed her to frame the issues. She additionally spent years speaking with people at risk of exclusion to better understand issues related to mental health, incarceration, and migration. Her works have been exhibited in Arts Santa Mònica (Barcelona), The Museum of Resistance (Turin), the Regional Natural Science Museum (Turin), the National Gallery of Sofia, and Le Nuove Museum (Turin), Palazzo Loredan in Venice. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with texts by Raffaella De Chirico (gallerist and curator), Roberto Mastroianni (philosopher, anthropologist, and art critic), and Jennifer Fielding (historian and sociologist).
