Literature

An evening on the history of German-Turkish cultural relations and perceptions. Akın Şipal’s play MutterVaterLand (MotherFatherLand) examines a hundred-year-old history of a Turkish-German artist family, questioning inherited ascriptions and experiences. In Stefan Weidner’s travel report Die Lehre der Therapia (The Teaching of Therapia), scenes of 19th century German travelers to Turkey overlap with scenes from the beginning of the coronavirus crisis.
