After its premiere in November 2021, the production So glücklich, dass du Angst bekommst (UA) will be performed regularly in the Chemnitz Figure Theatre and accompanied by a discoursive program during its runtime. In cooperation with new undiscov_red narratives 2025 (nun) there will be panel discussions, movie screenings as well as musical and artistic interventions amongst other things. With that, a space for interpersonal encounters and the exchange of knowledge or experiences is created. It starts its new stage as of March 2022.

As part of the accompanying project Wir sind auch das Volk! of ASA-FF e.V., supported by the foundation Aufarbeitung, the program #JugendErinnert and the Förderung des Fonds Soziokultur aus dem Programm der Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (BKM) “NEUSTART KULTUR”, there will be workshops and mediation formats with students as well as a mobile application, which will launch in spring of 2022.

– The game designers of Causa Creations (in cooperation with nun) developed an app, which tells the personal stories of contract workers and simultaneously transmits knowledge about the history of contract work in the GDR in general. During development, students are invited to contribute in content creation, make experiences in game design and fill the digital space with their research and questions.

– A theatrical laboratory for students and other interested people is planned for winter/spring of 2022. Together with nun, the museum Zeitgeschichtliches Forum Leipzig, Rock your life! Chemnitz e.V. and Courage-Werkstatt für demokratische Bildungsarbeit e.V. students will explore the traces of labour in our lifes as well as the role of migration, racism and equal opportunity, at the Chemnitz Figure Theatre.

– Following this project, Courage-Werkstatt für demokratische Bildungsarbeit e.V., Netzstelle Chemnitz (NDC Sachsen – Netzwerk für Demokratie und Courage in Sachsen) created a workshop on the history of former contract workers, (anti-Asian) racism and equality of opportunity. It will be held  Octobre.
