I`m Julia, the director of STRAWBERRY ORPHANS and I also did the
research with my colleague Silke in Romania.
We just started the practical work in Braunschweig (Germany) with lots of
improvisations and first scenic steps. One main challenge was the way to a
common language on stage, which is now a mixture of Romanian, German and
English. It is quite amazing to see that this is working.
For me, the most fascinating point of this project is the international
exchange in aesthetics and intellectual approaches. Especially the hard
discussions we had about justice, guilt and racism opened my mind. It should
have been obvious, but the fact that we are people from one of the poorest and
one of the richest countries in the EU really means connecting very different
perspectives on the chances and risks of this whole European Union. For now it
really feels like a very good chance to reflect on my own positions and doubt
things I felt really sure about.
