A performative research project on families between Iran and Germany By Mirella Oestreicher, Pooyan Bagherzadeh, and Kerstin Lenhart. World Wo*Men is a multimedia, interactive theatre piece, a pinball gender Parcours. The German-Iranian co-production explores the question: 2121 – Where is the family, the nucleus of society heading when more and more women and men no longer find themselves in traditional concepts?
Sixteen conversations were held with selected interview partners in Iran and Germany. They formed the central pool of ideas for the piece. In addition, a study on the topic of „Family in 100 Years from today“ was carried out as part of Future Studies at the Free University of Berlin. These findings also flowed into the project. Each performer has developed his or her individual interpretation of the topic in several solos, and two interviews are streamed in each of the three parcours: each group sees a different version of the project – only at the beginning and end of the journey, through a kind of world creation process, does the audience come together – an invitation to reflect and dream and ruminate about the meaning of family for each of us now and in the future…
This show was supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media within the program NEUSTART KULTUR, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the Department of Arts and Culture of the Bavarian capital of Munich, and the District Council 9 / Neuhausen-Nymphenburg of the Bavarian capital of Munich.
