In a hostile winter landscape, three women with their own unwritten stories and goals come together. The play Im Herzen der Krähen (In the Heart of the Crows) is the second exploration, following „Das Verkommene Land“ (The decayed Land), of the patriarchal premise of our present.
A small bus stop on a forest road. A small bus stop in the desert. A small bus stop by the sea. A small bus stop on a high plateau. In a harsh winter landscape, three women with their own unwritten stories and goals come together.
Amid crows and wolves, they experience visions of a possible future while waiting for the bus, which only one of them believes will come. As the three women are overtaken by time, the question arises: How can a future be designed if one's own story is not written? Without a story, we cannot create a future. Many stories, especially those of women, remain unwritten. Suddenly, we hear the sound of an engine in the distance.

Im Herzen der Krähen focuses on the theme of a possible future, which is more present than ever in the face of various crises. How can we break free from globally manifested patriarchal premises and attributions in our thoughts about the future? Is a solidarity-based salvation of the world still possible? And why is Kassandra not believed, but male prophets are? In a reinterpretation of the Kassandra figure, Im Herzen der Krähen envisions an intersectional future. Kaśka Bryla's text is based on interviews with most of those involved in the project. Through a mix of aerial and close-up shots, descriptive, performative and dramatic play, chorus and monologue, sound, video and music, divination, memory and transformation, a constellation is created outside of time, allowing for a different storytelling - and thus a different future.
On August 26, 1984, seven people lost their lives in a racist arson attack in Duisburg-Wanheimerort: Ferdane Satır, Zeliha Turhan, Rasim Turhan, Tarık Turhan, Çiğdem Satır, Ümit Satır, and Songül Satır. The survivors and relatives were left alone for decades—politicians, authorities, and the public did not talk about racism.
It was not until 2018 that they founded the Duisburg 1984 initiative, which has since combined education, remembrance work, and solidarity struggles with other victims of right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence.

Do you have an idea for an art education project and would like to learn how to develop a concept and apply for funding? We offer a two-day training course at the Brücke-Museum on how to apply for funding, financial planning and legal forms. Participants have time to develop an educational concept. A selected concept will later be realized in the Brücke-Museum.
The workshop is primarily aimed at artists or artists with a history of migration. If there is still capacity, freelancers without a history of migration can also take part.
Date: September 15 and 29, 12am–5pm (two-day training course)
