Hammer&Spiegel(Mirror)
A film from the theatre.
Volksbühne Berlin, Berlin/Germany | Film
Long ago Karl Marx said that art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it. In the land of Hammer&Spiegel (Hammer&Mirror) we agree with this statement—or at least most of us do. The year is 2321, and there are personal interconnections and clashes in our ranks. > More

Man from Fish: Voices
Jaunimo teatras, Vilnius/Lithuania | Staged Reading

The Return of Karl May
(Entertaining play for the German people)
Qendra Multimedia & National Theatre of Kosovo, Pristina/Kosovo | Staged Reading

The play confronts the audience with Western Europe’s almost demonizing approach toward the East—its supposed cultural, political, and intellectual superiority—which, according to Aleksandar Hemon, is deeply rooted in colonialism and racism. > More
