Bitef

After a series of solo pieces on philosophy, Corinne Maier now creates a documentary theatre piece on a global family story from personal video footage of her protagonist the documentary filmer Shaheen Dill-Riaz from Bangladesh, living in Berlin. Together with the actress Anne Haug, Shaheen himself is on stage, dissecting himself: what is my relationship to my family that is dispersed over four continents and five countries? Am I "there” for them when they need me? And if so, where would "there" be?

★ NOTE; Authors of the performance Past is present, will hold a workshop within side programme of 48 Bitef 14, for theater professionals interested in documentary theatre. Details about the workshop and its moderators, are published on page 91.
