In the organizer's words:

BURNING SKIES - Oratorio of an Attack is conceived as a collective act of remembrance and an attempt to make the omnipresence of war and violence in our bodies, thoughts and narratives visible.
An Afghan actress who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban, a French actor whose grandfather fought in the Indochina War and a German-Israeli actor from Munich meet in a joint confrontation with the traces of war, heritage and guilt. Three perspectives, three languages, three biographies interweave to create a polyphonic space in which personal traumas and collective memory, historical events of the bombing of major German cities during the Second World War and current events collide.

BURNING SKIES - Oratorio of an Attack reminds us that every form of revenge and retaliation destroys what is human in us - and that art has the task of making precisely this visible.
