In the so called multicultural streets of Berlin, say, in this cacophony of nations, – eating Pastel de Nata after several encounters with Eastern melodies reverberating through the neighbour’s window – how is German identity formed? Recalling the notions of nation-state, how othering continues? Who is ‘the nation’?Where/who is the margin? Starting from this Friday, Berliner Herbstsalon, organized by Shermin Langhoff, Çağla İlk, Erden Kosova and Antje Weitzel, will be examining similar questions as the launch of Maxim Gorki Theater’s new season with the new directors Shermin Langhoff and Jens Hillje. Besides the exhibition, there will be several performances at the weekend.
