Interstellar: Zwischen den Sternen

In the organizer's words:

Can looking at the stars save humanity on a destroyed earth? Can the savior of humanity still be a bad father? In Christopher Nolan's 2014 film epic "Interstellar", humanity searches for its future in the infinite vastness of space. Earth has been destroyed and can no longer produce the food that billions of people need to survive. But the search for new territory demands personal sacrifices. And it is rarely altruistic. As the former fighter pilot and adventurer Cooper sets off on an interstellar search for the future, he also makes a decision against his nine-year-old daughter, who has been waiting for him for decades. Nolan's film is also about the fact that although time passes at different speeds, the past can never be undone.

In close proximity to the "European Space Agency" (ESA), director Klaus Gehre assembles a timeless text by "Heiner Müller" between the elements of the science fiction fable in "The Horatian" and thus creates something new. In his space adventure, he explores the question inherent in both stories of what price we as humans are prepared to pay to reach the stars - and what much more obvious things we give up to do so, often without even realizing it. After all, the old science fiction dream of conquering space has always led back to earth and man's attempt to master the journey of his life. Which roles do we choose - and which others do we give up? What is the price for the hero's flight into infinity?
