06/02/2022 Theater performance "The German Dream"
The documentary, physical theater piece looks behind the scenes of freedom of movement and success. A co-production of Fysioart (Czech Republic) and Taupunkt eV
How the crisis in the East saved European identity
Open Europe has created a new generation of immigrants. Academics, professionals, artists - successful Europeans.
They are envied by many. They no longer do the dirty work. They therefore see themselves neither as guests nor as workers - they feel as citizens of Europe. Of course they want to belong everywhere, but they also want to leave if they like it better somewhere else.
But what is behind the facades of the successful EU academics? How do they deal with long-distance relationships, loneliness, or expectations of gratitude and loyalty? Can they share their sorrows with those close to them? Or has the topic become a taboo that is not talked about?
And what does all this have to do with European identity?
The documentary, physical theater piece looks behind the scenes of freedom of movement and success.
The production was funded by the festival "The frame is the program" and "Ran an die Arbeit!", the German-Czech Future Fund, the Federal Association of Socio-Culture and the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony. This measure is co-financed by taxes on the basis of the budget approved by the members of the Saxon state parliament.

Interpretation workshop in Eastern Erzgebirge in 2022
In May and September, the nature conservation station in the Eastern Ore Mountains offers a multi-day German-Czech course for anyone who would like to bring their region closer to other people.
Would you like to learn how to present a (favourite) place in an exciting and to the point way? Or are you a teacher, nature guide, volunteer or active in the Ore Mountains? Then join us!
The course is open to everyone who is interested in getting to know the basics of nature and culture interpretation using the example of the cultural landscape of the Eastern Erzgebirge and in taking part in German-Czech encounters. We will move in the German-Czech border region, get to know the abandoned village of Vorderzinnwald and the mountain meadow landscape around Altenberg. You become part of the interpretation process yourself, by mastering a group task (TeamWork) and by doing practical nature maintenance work (scything and raking a meadow, ie WorkOut).
Knowledge of the Czech language is not a prerequisite for participation: openness and language mediators will ensure understanding! All lectures will be interpreted.
Here you find all current regulations concerning the COVID19 pandemic in Saxony and Czechia.
