Margarete

Margarete is a production by Janek Turkowski.

At the webpage of Bastard, the international performing arts festival of Trondheim the following, among other things, is written about Margarete:

"Sitting around the artist with teacups in our hands we get to know an ordinary, but unique life.

Janek Turkowski found 64 rolls of 8mm film in a market. All the rolls showed the same woman in different Eastern European countries during the cold war. He made a production about her and his own discovery. That way, he connected himself to a woman he didn't know for ever."

At the webpage of Bastard, the international performing arts festival of Trondheim the following, among other things, is written about Margarete by Janek Turkowski:

"The interest for the past is a driving force in Janek Turkowski's artistic work. As a child he watched images of his ancestors and found that to be material proof of his existence, proof life didn't start just now; the images from the past gave him a feeling of connection.

The sentimental has also been an important driving force in the construction of a story about Margarete, the woman in the images. Thus, recognition is an important effect. Through recognition we are connected to what we see.

Janek Turkowski is a dramaturge, director, curator and member of a number of festival boards in his hometown of Szczecin in Poland. In his work he is especially concerned with healing the contemporary wounds created by the sins of the past. In particular he emphasises reconciliation with the great western neighbour of Germany."
