Scenic reading »Uprising of the smock aprons«
What memories do you have of growing up in the GDR? How did a group council election work, when did you wear a pioneer blouse and what did you have a sponsor brigade for? In the staged reading from the book of the same name ‘Aus dem Gruppenbuch der Christiane P.’, actress Marharyta Pshenitsyna reads texts accompanied by pictures by photographer Matthias Leupold. In his photographs, Leupold stages key images of his East Berlin childhood and youth in the 1960s to 1980s in the here and now, reminding us of growing up in the GDR. It is precisely the everyday and self-evident things of that time that are often not part of today's collective memory. And finally, the question remains: Who was Christiane P.?
