Inhalt

As part of the Czech-German Culture Days 2020, a documentary performance entitled “KONTAKTZONE” (working title) is to be developed. The project deals with current everyday cultural practices in the German-Czech-Polish border area; It aims at an artistic processing and performative presentation of the results of the research project "Contact Zones" carried out at the ISGV since 2015. The basis is formed by around 20 interviews as well as materials from media and social networks; it is about experiences with the topics of borders, regionality, (common) history and the environment. The interview partners represent a representative spectrum of initiators, sponsors and mediators of cross-border cooperation. The content and potential of the conversations, future-oriented impulses as well as problems and limits are discussed in a multimedia way. The text template is dramaturgically based on reference questions about the perception of border and border (land) location, dealing with the complicated local history in the respective regions, the construction of the identity of the actors active in the region and the social, cultural and financial Capital on both sides of the border. The documentary performance will create a new contact zone in which these questions can be discussed in a multimedia, public and collective manner. Boundaries should be constantly present and noticeable in order to never lose focus on this central point of reference and formative moment. Where and how these boundaries are drawn and what or who separate them only becomes clear in the interaction with the audience. The project works with both professional and young performers so that the next generation is included in the discourse about their place of origin. The presentation will be bilingual (Czech / German), accompanied by subtitles in the other language. The project will be widely advertised by all organizers and multipliers with a poster and a bilingual program.

Ergebnisse, Mehrwert, Nachhaltigkeit

The result of the project is the performance of the bilingual performance "KONTAKTZONE". The interviews already collected for this performance are used in excerpts in both languages. Bilingualism and cross-border cooperation are additionally guaranteed by a separate application to the German-Czech Future Fund. The public announcement of the project takes place in a bilingual program booklet and a poster. The staging is dedicated to the central experiences of current, cross-border activities of local initiators, sponsors and mediators in the Czech-Polish-German border area. These experiences are shaped by the border in a nation-state and in a figurative sense; it has an impact on the perception and understanding of regional history, on-site cooperation and on the continuities and breaks in (border) everyday life. These findings should be made accessible through implementation in performance. This is then not only a mirror of the respective neighbor in the border region, but also reveals key experiences in living together on site. This promotes the cross-generational and cross-border exchange with the neighbors and creates an awareness among the target audience of the special features of the border region in its complexity and diversity. The performance is aimed at people from the border region as well as everyone else in order to highlight the added value of togetherness in the region. By including young people from the Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium in Pirna, an additional contact line is created between the generations, which is an important level of experience, especially in view of the different generational experiences. The performance is to be performed in Dresden as well as in Ústí nad Labem. In the long term, additional performances should also take place in a follow-up application, so that the added value of the event and sustainability are guaranteed.
