In the discussion series Theatre of Reconciliation, Max Czollek encounters people who are exploring questions of memory. How do societies remember? What does the much-lauded German Erinnerungskultur—culture of remembrance—have to do with the question of belonging? What does remembrance mean for the German, European, and international present?

Rumours On the Wind (2023)

Rumours On the Wind is a spoken piece written in response to Bwa Kayiman. A speculative testimony, unerasable in its mythic form and rooted in its power to recall, this piece centres the unknown voices that weren’t present but still had a part to play in the coming Haitian revolution.

I Come as a Woman, Dark and Open (2023)

On 13 August 2023, Venus, the planet of feminine energy, aligns with the sun, causing what only happens once a year: the Venus Star Point, signifying her rebirth and transformation from night star to morning star. Hosted within this symbolic reconfiguration of the sky, Danish-Kenyan Flamenco dancer and choreographer Phyllis Akinyi offer a rhythmic gathering of movement that honours the long history of female influences on revolution and justice, whilst specifically paying tribute to the Haitian Vodou priestess, mambo Cécile Fatiman, who is believed to have led the ceremonial rituals of Bwa Kayiman.

What to do with the world?

Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) invited twelve people from different geographies, grappling with the state of the world in their work across disciplines and contexts, to respond to the question: ‘What to do with the world?’ Artist Wolfgang Tillmans created typographic and photographic interpretations of the twelve responses, which were displayed on billboards throughout Berlin.

How does Knowledge Come into the World? by Anke te Heesen and Klaus Sander

What does it take to be both a scientist and a narrator? How is it possible to convey highly complex knowledge without simplifying it?

And what scientific self-understanding is revealed when biologists, physicists, historians, and linguists speak about their ideas, research interests, working processes, and results? Anke te Heesen, who conducts research on scientific interviews, discusses narrative strategies with Klaus Sander, whose publishing company releases original sound recordings from scientists and writers.
