HOW CAN WE LIVE TOGETHER?

Text

HOW CAN WE LIVE TOGETHER? On February 10, 1970, three assassins from a Palestinian terrorist organization attempted to hijack an airplane at Munich-Riem airport. Israeli passenger Arie Katzenstein was killed when he had the presence of mind to throw himself on a hand grenade to protect others. The hijacking was prevented through the efforts of flight captain Uriel Cohen and emergency services.However, ten other people were injured, some of them seriously. Israel’s greatest actress, Hanna Maron, born in Berlin in 1923 and a child star of the theater, film and radio scene of the Weimar Republic, was among them. After three months of hospital treatment, her life was saved, but her left leg had to be amputated. A year later, she was back on stage as Seneca’s Medea with a prosthesis. Far from withdrawing from the public eye or being bitter, from then on, she advocated an end to the occupation and support for autonomous Palestinian statehood. At a time when tolerance and the ability to engage in non-violent discourse are on the decline, this encounter creates a space for joint reflection on how we live together today, on the culture of remembrance and artistic practice. Academic and artistic contributions, including those from philosopher Ofra Rechter and choreographer and dancer May Zarhy, will fuel an open mic session. Artist Nikolaus Gansterer will simultaneously generate an artistic reflection of the discourse by a live drawing performance. Visitors are are kindly invited to share their thoughts in an atmosphere of hospitality and respect. Some guests make prepared contributions. Food and drinks will be provided. Admission free at Schwerer Reiter, in Munich, Germany, part of Tanzwerkstatt Europa 2024.
