Studierende nahmen sich in „Tanz der Künste“ interdisziplinär eines schwierigen Themas an
„Let´s try the impossible“ - § 301
§301 entstand zwischen September und
Oktober 2013 als eine interdisziplinäre Arbeit
der Bereiche Schauspiel, Tanz, Komposition,
Theater-und Orchestermanagement
sowie des Studienganges Theater-,
Film- und Medienwissenschaften der
Goethe-Universität. Ausgangspunkt der
gemeinschaftlichen Beschäftigung mit den
Kernthemen politische Verfolgung, Masse,
Macht und Identität war die Tötung von bis
zu 70.000 alevitisch-stämmigen Kurden in

interdisziplinäre Produktionen an der HfMDK
mit bis zu 4000 Euro fördert. Gespräche
