Ehemalige JVA Rennelberg

In the location's words:

A look inside a prison says a lot about a society and its injustices. Who is imprisoned and for what? Rennelberg Prison was used by the Nazi regime as an instrument to break political resistance. Even today, authoritarian states around the world use prisons as a means of maintaining power. But even in liberal societies, people are questioning whether prisons can really establish justice.

Festival Theaterformen opens the doors of Rennelberg Prison to the public for the first time and interweaves Braunschweig's city history with international artists' perspectives on injustice and state violence. Performances by Harald Beharie, LASTESIS, Nicoleta Esinencu / teatru-spălătorie, Public Movement and Sonya Lindfors & Maryan Abdulkarim will be created anew on site.

The festival center offers space for discussion, for relaxing with a drink in the sun and for dancing against the violence of architecture at the silent discos.

Rennelberg Prison, which is no longer a prison but has not yet been taken over by the investment industry, will become a space of possibility for a short time. NO PRISON invites people to come together in this place of isolation and exclusion and to experience community and art here.
