Documentation show of workshop under German theatre director
Bangladesh Centre of the International Theatre Institute in cooperation with Goethe Institut Dhaka presentsMy Unknown Enemy, a documentation of scenes and text of a theatre workshop, at the Institut's auditorium today. Theatre director Alexander Stillmark from Berlin worked together with theatre activists of India, Pakistan and Nepal, as part of International Theatre Institute's (ITI) workshop series having taken place in last few years.
My Unknown Enemy uses the methods of theatre and drama to pick conflicts out as a central theme in order to analyse differences and find ways for consideration. In the centre stands a text, the questions of which are staged resulting in discussion on cultural differences.
Similar workshops took place in 2002 in Bonn and in 2003 in Cairo.
