criss cross + … left and right  Greifswald market becomes an open stage

1818 Caspar David Friedrich drew the Greifswald marketplace. The watercolor is currently presented in the Pomeranian State Museum. Frederick returns in his image, a time frame of his presence. As then, marketplaces are still a reflection of our society. The marketplace is a social space with people from diverse backgrounds, a place of common ground, both a place of exclusion, the differences, the discussion, confrontation and negotiation. It will be met: crisscross, right and left diagonal and straight out.  In August 2012 we offered a German-Polish Stage Performance Together with the Polish Teatr Brama, we developed a five-day workshop a spectacle. Since the market was not locked as a stage, there was a combination of fiction and reality, drama intervention and observation.

Our goal was to create a cross-generational and cross-understanding. By actively developing a multifaceted theater action project participants and spectators were encouraged to take on social responsibility. The combination of museum and theater revealed new dimensions of the transmission of culture and history.
