The traumatised stranger Othello from Shakespeare's play, a returnee marked by inner wounds: can he be healed? In many cases, structural change in Lusatia has also triggered profound upheavals, both individually and collectively. Can these wounds be healed?

The analogy between Shakespeare's tragic hero and the region may seem contrived. However, it is not aimed at a comparable experience – here war, there fundamental structural change – but rather at structural similarities in far-reaching processes of change and the associated internal and external conflicts. Where and how do emotional and social upheavals manifest themselves in personal crises and structural change? Are there any parallels at all in such traumatising upheavals in the reality of life? These and other related questions are the topic of the Lausitz Labor on Saturday morning.

The language of poetry: self-reference and perception of the world

Sandra Richter

This year's edition of the Lausitz Lab takes three of the festival's productions as starting points for discussion and reflection: »Sonnet Factory«, »Othello / The Strangers« and »Müller & Müller«. Based on the productions and the inspirational word unsbewusst, the question of the challenges and at the same time possible freedoms of a conscious community of the many will be discussed.
