Tyskland - Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin Karten

Myths and legends are often instrumentalized by national conservative movements for the purpose of power. The series Mythen der Wirklichkeit (Myths of Reality) brings these stories back - with queer and cultural critical readings. The premiere of the seventh edition is also the prelude to this year's Queer Weekend: the German-Swedish performance duo White on White explores an inexistent, phantasmatic nation-state: »Tyskland«. The Scandinavian (magic) word for Germany offers an opening of the projections of the north to the south: In the perspective of TYSKLAND, Germany is a queer garden, where Joseph Beuys - embodied in a golden leaf rabbit - and Rosa Luxembourg kiss the good night, while Theodor and Max exercise a strict regime - one of Critical Theory, Anti-Nationalism and Absolute Liberty of the Arts.
