Workshops

Flying HELLERAU | Open Workshop with Raul Walch and Mustafa Ahaikh Rabbits | 11 am – 6 pm, Golgi Park, 5 pm the kites are released into the air. Last year, artist Raul Walch and architect Mustafa Ahaikh Hasan worked together on flying objects for an exhibition at the Kunsthaus Dresden. During several actions the Elbe dwellings became an experimental field and a flying field for diverse flying objects. For the opening of HELLERAU’s 2018/2019 season, they are planning another action in which the center will be freed from gravity to take to the air in good wind. The duo invites to a workshop and joint flight experiments behind the Festspielhaus Hellerau. The multifaceted flying objects will float beyond the Festspielhaus in the afternoon and carry the future programme of HELLERAU – European Centre of the Arts into Dresden’s airspace. Within the framework of the open workshop, the participants have the opportunity to participate in the production of flying objects or to design their own kites. The workshop is a Refugee Art Center project.

Guerilla Story Walk – PP NEWS – another walk | Performance by Armada of Arts | 12, 2, 4 pm, forecourt | approx. 15 participants per round The Armada of Arts turns public space into a backdrop and surprises with mobile puppet coverage on the subject of “rituals”. The Polit-Puppen-News ask radically, precisely and delicately: What are rituals? Who is carrying them out? What stories do they write? (Duration approx. 1 hour) Newsreader Mika Eni Bott will guide you through the nearby Hellerau Gartenstadt housing estate. Private garages, hedges and public spaces become mobile news studios where you can watch films, live puppet shows and performances. They become witnesses of a new monument. PLAYHOUSE of A. Documentary by Benjamin Schindler | 11 am – 6 pm, Studio East Washington is not the capital of the USA, but Hollywood. Or: The postfactual age began in 1492, Benjamin Schindler’s poetic documentary film shows the land of unlimited possibilities as one of the unlimited forms of identity between pop culture and Christian faith. Reality and staging, dream and madness, sacred and banalities get into a whirlpool into which the film itself plunges. The world has woken up from the “American Dream”, at the latest after reality has been trumped by the staged fiction. But when fiction comes after the dream, where was and is “reality”? (Duration 31 min.) abstracts of men – Research on masculinity | Installation by Romy Weyrauch (director, theatrale subversion) & Diana Wesser (video artist) | 11 am – 6 pm, Studio West The video installation “abstracts of men” emerged from the production of the same name by director Romy Weyrauch in 2009. The work ties in with the public debate about the identity crisis of masculinity and questions the idea of a true gender. The starting point was the theatre maker’s gaze, who interviewed men of all ages about their masculinity in more than 20 hours of conversation. Together with video portraits of the artist Diana Wesser, a panorama of subjective perspectives and experiences of masculinity emerges. (Duration approx. 45 min.) AUDITIVVOKAL Dresden: #the original modern ensemble | vocal | 12, 2, 4 pm, Great Hall Since 2007, the ensemble with its director Olaf Katzer has discovered the musical terrain in an unconventional way and amazes every curious ear. The 24 singers*, who work together in small and large ensembles, master new microtonal sound worlds as well as the entire spectrum of vocal multiphonics. AUDITIVVOKAL regularly succeeds at numerous festivals in Germany and abroad and follows invitations to the important concert halls of German music centres. Percolate | Performance by Charles Washington | 12 – 6 pm, everywhere “Percolate” regards sound as the stimulation of movement that disturbs and builds up newly created moments. It’s about the presence between people, how they move in a room, how their eyes meet with sensitivity. “Percolate” looks into the social environment of communities, relationships and the gathering of people in spaces. It seems to bother the group. A construction of a new consciousness for a larger community and the way the body interacts. If it moves alone in space or in direct or indirect connection with others.
