(1) put the roots down (2) then push them deep into the ground - D.I.Y. für EinwanderInnen

In the organizer's words:

Put down roots. Like a nail in the wall. What a beautiful, handcrafted expression. And how nice it would be to have something similar to an IKEA construction manual. A kind of process description. A DIY - build yourself a home that explains point by point how to (1.) find a place for yourself in a foreign culture, (2.) build a social network (3.) and get involved. Especially nowadays. Especially in Germany. Until the implementation of an integration process will be as easy as building a Billy shelf, we take the wonderful complexity of this topic as a field of research, and our personal experiences. Do It Yourself! Root yourself! The integration how-to should be simple, clear and understandable.
Helga Lázár takes the above-mentioned motifs such as "lines", "networking", "binding" and "tying" literally for the sake of simplicity: she weaves the stage space with the help of ropes, carabiners and pulleys. She puts down roots in the space, weaves herself a social network, builds herself a wanna-be home. At the same time, interview sequences and Hungarian folk songs create a strange sound space around her. Lázár visualizes her personal experiences and the trans-generational patterns that underlie them. In this way, a comprehensive fabric of thoughts, images, sounds and movements is created, offering the audience the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their own feelings of foreignness and to feel welcome in their dislocation.
Physical theater piece with elements of material theater about rootedness, body memory and transgenerational heritage. An autobiographical solo performance.
