A frenzied collage is projected onto the enormous stage construction at Germania in the Volksbühne. From one side, a kind of hall façade with isolated window openings. When it rotates, a nested system of rooms becomes visible, with Heiner Müller's proverbial new building ‘fuck cells’, for example, toilets and a bar. Over the course of the evening, chamber-like scenes from Müller’s two collage-like dramas about Germany, Germania Tod in Berlin and Germania 3 Gespenster am Toten Mann (Ghosts at the Dead Man), will repeatedly take place and be transmitted onto the façade in oversize by the live camera.
