Festivalimpressions 2014 - Thursday, 27.11. - School theatre / School
screenings
The play “Mein Leben. Meine Liebe. Meine Ehre?“ (My life. My love. My honour?) from TERRE DES FEMMES and the ensemble of “Mensch:Theater!” was performed at the Gewerbliche Schule Tübingen.
The
three actors perform scenes of the everyday life of teenagers with migrant
background and pick up on topics as forced marriage, virginity and homosexuality…
It
was demonstrated how traditional role models come up against a modern lifestyle
and which problems this causes, especially for young girls and women and
what possibility of action does exist for them, but also for the young
men. 
Following
this, the scenes were discussed with the students; parts of the scenes were
recreated anew with stage directions by the students. In the following work
shop the topics were deepened in small groups.

two generations from Iran, their attitude towards religion and it’s
role in society. *
