UN:IMAGINABLE
a musical documentary performance on the soundtracks of war
With UN:IMAGINABLE this year we were able to co-produce an extraordinary theater work that arose from the lived reality of trauma, war, exclusion and exile. Together with the Mashirika Performing Arts and Media Company Rwanda and the Sarajevo War Theater Bosnia-Herzegovina, we invited to the world premiere of the play and supporting program at the Oyoun in May. Transnational, documentary music theater has explored different forms of healing in the context of repeating history, war, genocide - particularly that of the 1990s in Rwanda and the Balkans - and life in the diaspora. The play premiered at the Ubumuntu Arts Festival in Kigali in July.
In this post we present you the aftermovies from the performances in Berlin (Video 1) and Kigali (Video 2).
