Background
The process at the Higher Regional Court of Stuttgart is a precedent now write legal history: For the first time the International Criminal Code comes into Germany for use. At the same time push in the negotiations all involved to their limits. The German judiciary is obviously not up to the demands of a global jurisprudence. We want the complex process and its possible outcome, reappraise the consequences of the judgment and the global reality of music theater to create a current political musical theater and so open discussion rooms in this residence.
The Bielefeld residence is made possible by the Arts Foundation NRW. The workshop Performance was financed from funds of the Hanns Bisegger Foundation.

nö theater Köln “Ach, sind wir politisch!”
In our research work is reflection of our work and the analysis of the meaning and the effect of political theater. been we have developed over the past few years several political, documentary pieces so confronted, for example about the violent death of the asylum seeker Oury Jalloh and about the murders of the NSU and the intricacies of the secret service, while we are always with the same problems. What happens after the completion of a production? How can we deal with the fact that the time ahead of us and lose the pieces relatively quickly in actuality? How to deal with it to make theater surviving humans? Is the theater right place to inform or educate about people? As we are exploited?
we want to ask ourselves these questions and try to find it, theatrical answers. At the same time, we will deal with the history of political theater and thus which answers have found other groups or artists. Our goal is to find a sensible for us the form of political theater for the future.
