The word »garage« comes from the French and means »to keep some- thing safe«. Chemnitz has a particu- larly 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 com- panies, 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 become a performance; the many voices turn into songs. What ensues is a nego- tiation about security in Chemnitz new and old – the first security conference in the former East.
It is recommended to arrive by bus or bike via Waldenburger Straße (bus stop Ernst-Heilmann-Straße). There are garages on site, but no guest car parks.
