“This is the story of an adolescent in East Germany. It is Noah’s story. His father George leaves the family shortly after Noah is born. He returns to Angola, where he was once born. In Noah’s story, George is the absent father. However, it is not Noah yearning for him but his mother Susanne. And Susanne never yearns for her son.

Mais in Deutschland und anderen Galaxien/Corn in Germany and Other Galaxies is also the story of Noah’s mother Susanne. She was born in East Germany and is misunderstood early on. Consequently she revolts against everyone and everything – against her parents, against the state, against motherhood. Mais in Deutschland und anderen Galaxien is a fairy tale and a comic, repeatedly invaded by reality.”

“For 200 years now, in a small village in the Black Forest, weapons have been produced and exported all over the world. A success story from Mauser to Heckler&Koch. Exporting War is a piece about the market in weapons, a trade that decides conflicts, promotes crises, stokes up or ends wars. What are the common interests that link industry, science, politics, and sales markets? Which weapon systems are required by the new asymmetrical wars? Along with the performances, there will also be a talk with experts from politics and the media.”

After FRONTex SECURITY, Hans-Werner Kroesinger now continues his research on the European arms and security industry with Exporting War.”

“Undine, Loreley, Homer’s Sirenen, Arielle – the woman with the fish tail has swum through our myths for centuries. In a mixture of performance, pop-concert and object theater Koikate examines images of fish, women and the scaly abyss of societal gender, body and identity models. What expectations have established themselves in our minds, and which ones have registered themselves in our bodies? And just how sexy can a fish tail be when something crucial is missing down there?”
