Atlas des Kommunismus

 

In the summer of 1917 Lenin travelled in a sealed train, with the permission of the German Emperor, to Petrograd and lit the sparks that spread the October Revolution. The train’s journey, however, left a mark on its transit country as well: In 1918 Karl Liebknecht tried to proclaim the Free Socialist Republic from the palace balcony in Berlin.

 

Men dominate in historiography.

 

99 years later, the Argentine director Lola Arias invites people from 8 to 85 years old to the stage to tell stories about communism. Together they will reconstruct their own lives and that of Salomea Genin. As a child of a Jewish family Salomea Genin was forced to flee from the National Socialist regime of terror to Australia, where she was inspired by the communist dream and decided to support building a socialist state on German soil. She worked for the Stasi before she realized that the GDR had become a police state and then broke with it. Her story is accompanied by those of a translator, an actress, a punk singer and a Vietnamese contract worker, as well as a puppeteer, a young communist from Bavaria, a 16 year-old activist and a student from Berlin Pankow.

 

Together they report on singing communist work songs in front of factories, on the teachings of socialist brother countries, on surveillance in everyday life, on concerts in church rooms, on the discussion in the theatre during reunification, on burning asylum centres in eastern Germany and the demands from refugees today, all in order to reveal an image of the personal in the political, of failure and getting up again.

 

 

‘ATLAS KOMUNIZMA’ U BERLINU ZA 100. OBLJETNICU OKTOBARSKE REVOLUCIJE

Depresija, strah i buđenje u nepoznatom svijetu

 

Oni su već počeli obilježavati 100-godišnjicu Oktobarske revolucije. S predstavom Atlas komunizma berlinsko kazalište Maxim Gorki rekapitulira iskustvo DDR-a, onako kako se odražavalo na životima njegovih stanovnika. Nije riječ o nekim tipičnim, izmišljenim likovima, na pozornici su stvarne osobe koje predstavljaju sebe: liderica punk benda koja je godinu i pol dana bila u zatvoru zbog nepoćudnih pjesama, dugogodišnja doušnica Stasija koja se osamdesetih slomila u depresiji kad je konačno shvatila u što su se izrodili njeni mladenački ideali, žena koja je prevodila čuvenu konferenciju za novinare 8. studenog 1989. na kojem se zbunjeni Günter Schabowski izletio da je Zid već otvoren. I glumica Ruth Reinecke, koja predočava kako su se tada, krajem osamdesetih, na istoj toj sceni Maxima Gorkog dovijali kako da progovore a da ne završe u zatvoru.
