Songs of (In)Security
Musical theatre by Tanja Krone & team
The word “garage” comes from the French and means “to keep something safe”. Chemnitz has a particularly high density of garages – does that mean it has an especially high need for security? If so, what exactly is being protected behind these wooden gates and corrugated iron walls?
Director Tanja Krone knocks on the doors of garage owners, police headquarters, security companies, places of worship, and the people she used to party with 30 years ago. She asks, how do we find inner security in uncertain times? The conversations turn into a performance; the many voices turn into songs. What ensues is a negotiation about security in Chemnitz new and old – the first security conference in the former East.
Supported by the Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
