Anstattführung

hannsjana

Bears seldom live longer than 30 years and can remember the era of a divided Germany just as little as millennials – just like hannsjana. And so the artists put on bear costumes and thoroughly examine the prejudices and privileges that have seeped into their respective West German and East German socialization. They walk with the audience along the formerly divided Brunnenstraße and search for traces of belonging that can no longer be so precisely localized in their audio walk.
