With “The Moving Stories of Mobile Women” (working title), the Chemnitz Figure Theatre and the nun project team are dealing with the history of the contract workers in the GDR. Interviews will be conducted, documents sifted through and life paths traced. Grounded in the field of tension, work – women – migration, the production focuses on female biographies and approaches the different perspectives and experiences in a dialogue between the generations. This material will be used to create a theatre production, which will premiere as part of the interdisciplinary network project “Kein Schlussstrich!” and will be accompanied by an extensive framework and educational program in cooperation with Chemnitz women, educators, historians, cultural actors and a nationwide network.

Planned premiere date: November 6, 2021

Venue: Figurentheater Chemnitz
