THE DARK SIDE OF THE GDR

In the organizer's words:

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of German unity, we artistically explored our childhood in the "East". Born and raised in the capital of the GDR, the only thing that distinguished us from our fellow citizens was our foreign appearance. Our African fathers had studied in East Berlin in order to build socialism in their home countries. In the uniform gray, we were perceived as "mulatto" and "gypsy," although we did not feel foreign ourselves. Contrary to the official doctrine of international solidarity and friendship between peoples, we use authentic testimonies to tell how we experienced the underlying racism as children in the GDR. It is a rebellious and cheerful musical evening that explores the question of how we dealt with this conflict. Did we rebel or did we adapt? Using diaries, Stasi files, letters and bizarre self-confessions, we examine our childhood behind the anti-fascist protective wall. This content has been machine translated.
