Dieses „Open Studio“ bietet Einblick in den Forschungsprozess einer einwöchigen internationalen Residenz im QUARTIER Theater. Im zweiten Jahr in Folge erkunden die Künstler*innen, wie Identität und Zugehörigkeit durch unsere Wurzeln beeinflusst werden. Generationsübergreifende Traumata, Familienmuster und die Geschichte unserer Vorfahren prägen unsere Fähigkeit, Verbindungen zu knüpfen.
Die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit den persönlichen Erfahrungen der Gruppe während der Residenz wird in Bewegung, Klänge sowie szenischen Elemente übersetzt. Es entsteht eine multidisziplinäre Performance, die universelle Geschichten erzählt.  Die Co-Creators dieser Zusammenarbeit haben sich als Kreative und Performer*innen aus unterschiedlichen kulturellen, sozialen und künstlerischen Hintergründen zusammengefunden und gestalten disziplinübergreifend eine Erfahrung für alle Sinne und Perspektiven.
Eine Einladung zur Reflexion über die eigene Vergangenheit und deren Einfluss auf unsere gegenwärtigen Beziehungen.
