Dokumentarisches Theater gegen Rechtsextremismus

In the organizer's words:

Right-wing populist and far-right narratives in social media are increasingly overwriting the memory of far-right crimes. They trivialize the events, aim to polarize society and question democratic values as the basis of our social coexistence. The workshop "Documentary theater against right-wing extremism" combines the confrontation with right-wing extremism in our society with the question of the far too often overlooked perspectives of the victims and their relatives. Using the method of documentary theater, the workshop opens up an artistic approach to the critical examination of social grievances such as racism and exclusion. Through an insight into research processes, the examination of real stories and the writing process of the theater texts, the participants learn to look at complex contexts in a differentiated way, to question simplistic narratives and to reflect on their own attitudes. The workshop is led by Tuğsal Moğul, playwright, director and doctor with proven expertise in documentary theater. In his plays "Auch Deutsche unter den Opfern/ NSU - MORDE" and "And Now Hanau!", he addresses the racist murders that have taken place in Germany over the last 25 years and focuses on the perspectives of those affected, institutional failings and questions of social responsibility. The workshop is aimed specifically at young people between the ages of 17 and 21. The workshop program: Day 1 (14.02.26, 10:00-16:00): Getting to know each other, introduction to the topic and discussion of the play "AUCH DEUTSCHE UNTER DEN OPFERN / NSU-MORDE" Day 2 (15.02.26, 11:00 - 15:30): Dealing with victims and their relatives.
