SOMEWHERE THERE'S WAR

We encounter war in the news as an everyday fact of horror, as a number of destruction and deaths. We encounter war in blockbusters as a heroic epic or as a children's game with plastic weapons. As a story of the past. As neighbors who have fled. In its real tangibility, however, it is mainly characterized by its absence in our everyday lives. Although many people in Germany have experienced war, it often remains unspeakable and invisible. The experiences are too traumatic, too absurd to comprehend, and talking about them is too commonplace.

There is a gap between our images and the real experience of war. A gap between deafening noise and silence. Between speechlessness and the collapse of everyday life. Where is there room for something for which a language must first be found? How can we talk about war? How can we talk about it? - As a soldier, a contemporary witness, a refugee? How do we listen? What place do real experiences of war and the invisible consequences have in our society today?

In SOMEWHERE THERE'S WAR, a peaceful model housing estate in Schkeuditz becomes the bourgeois, everyday backdrop for a walk-in, performative audio installation. Three groups will each enter a location on the estate for 30 minutes in rotation in a trilogy without beginning or end, allowing the absurdity of the incomprehensible to flare up in moments.
