Documentary by Ghostcat

Ghostcat Medienproduktion shot material in Sweden. We must not tell what about, though: business secret. In the editing room, the foreign language material needs to be edited, and therefore, it must be understood what’s being said.

RESPUBLICA

In July, the Kammerspiele Munich present the immersive, six-hour performance RESPUBLICA byŁukasz Twarkowski and the ensemble. The production is based on an exciting social experiment.

CASCADE by Jim Grimsley

In Jim Grimsley’s new play, a daughter and her father travel north from the South of the U.S. in the near future to escape from the uninhabilitable hot regions there. On their way, they meet another partial family and finally decide to travel on together into an uncertain future.

In a dense and threatening atmosphere, the play approaches the migration aspect of the climate catastrophy, postulating that we will only be able to master this troublesome journey with the help of trust and solidarity.

The German translation from English was accomplished by Henning Bochert.
