Martin Piekar »Vom Fällen eines Stammbaums«

In the organizer's words:

Marcin's childhood was shaped by one thing above all: his mother. He lived with her in a small apartment that offered little space for privacy and plenty of material for a tragic life story. When his mother fled from Poland to Germany in the 1980s, it was supposed to be the beginning of a better life. She works hard as a geriatric nurse, is depressed, drinks too much and refuses to ever return to her homeland. Marcin will only find out more about his family history many years later. What does it mean to grow up as the first post-war generation in a country whose language you speak but whose roots you don't share, where foreignness and home are the same thing? And does it feel as if your mother's suffering has taken root in your own body?
