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.
