40 spectators. Everyone is asked to hand in their cash before the performance - it will be distributed at the end, but how? The performance College for the Rediscovery of Class Consciousness is a playful setting in which the audience practically tests their own position in society and the unequal distribution of resources. The starting point is a series of conversations with participants from different professional backgrounds.
There is a fight against racism, capitalism, and for feminism. These struggles are often separated and a fundamental solidarity is missing. How can the demands of factory workers, refugees, unemployed individuals, and those who work in households be formulated in a way that their interests become a collective interest? In a series of discussions in Frankfurt, Mannheim, and Berlin, we spoke with trade unionists and strike alliances, sex workers, journalists, professors, representatives of blind organizations, and sociologists about a contemporary "class consciousness" that is able to formulate individual concerns as common ones.
The result of this artistic research was a performance. The audience was led through playful scenarios, such as a wedding celebration or a lunch in the cafeteria of a large company, experiencing the different thoughts of the guests of the discussion series.

Grauzone Pott is here! From today, you can listen to the first episode “Eine Verkettung von Einzelfällen” wherever podcasts are available or directly on grauzone-pott.de. A racist arson attack, decades of silence and a memorial initiative fighting to come to terms with the past: in episode 1, we travel to Duisburg in 1984 and shed light on an arson attack that claimed the lives of seven members of a Turkish family. Dismissed by the authorities as an isolated incident, a search of archives reveals that the arson attack was part of a pattern of racist violence.
