Der Soundtrack unseres Lebens. Gespräch, Musik, Quiz, Film

In the organizer's words:

The PalastBar is the format for informal discussions and artistic interventions. Here, debate and art are combined around the theme of the Palace of the Republic. Scientists meet writers, musicians meet publicists and music meets sparkling drinks.

Music accompanies us through life. Probably everyone associates a certain event with a particular piece of music, which triggers memories and feelings. In addition to its private significance, music is also a seismograph for social moods and changes.

In the last PalastBar for the time being as part of the program for the exhibition Hin und weg. The Palace of the Republic is Present, cultural scientist Gabriela Braden-Becker asks about the soundtrack of our lives. She has been asking her friends and acquaintances for life songs and invites the audience to bring along their favorite tracks on vinyl or other sound carriers and tell the story behind them.

Contributions from the audience are welcome. A record player will be ready for your favorite song!

She will contribute her own experiences, ranging from the joie de vivre and rebelliousness of the 70s to the banning of songs and bands in the 80s, disillusionment and disappointment and leaving the GDR, to new hidden or open protest against the stink of the Politburo and its authorities, which heralded the end of the GDR and enabled a new beginning in the early 90s in a reunited Germany.

Participants
