Atlas des Kommunismus<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Oni su ve\u0107 po\u010deli obilje\u017eavati 100-godi\u0161njicu Oktobarske revolucije. S predstavom Atlas komunizma berlinsko kazali\u0161te Maxim Gorki rekapitulira iskustvo DDR-a, onako kako se odra\u017eavalo na \u017eivotima njegovih stanovnika. Nije rije\u010d o nekim tipi\u010dnim, izmi\u0161ljenim likovima, na pozornici su stvarne osobe koje predstavljaju sebe: liderica punk benda koja je godinu i pol dana bila u zatvoru zbog nepo\u0107udnih pjesama, dugogodi\u0161nja dou\u0161nica Stasija koja se osamdesetih slomila u depresiji kad je kona\u010dno shvatila u \u0161to su se izrodili njeni mladena\u010dki ideali, \u017eena koja je prevodila \u010duvenu konferenciju za novinare 8. studenog 1989. na kojem se zbunjeni G\u00fcnter Schabowski izletio da je Zid ve\u0107 otvoren. I glumica Ruth Reinecke, koja predo\u010dava kako su se tada, krajem osamdesetih, na istoj toj sceni Maxima Gorkog dovijali kako da progovore a da ne zavr\u0161e u zatvoru.<\/p>\n
