Stadt unter Einfluss – das Musical zur Wohnungsfrage
Part of the festival “Berlin bleibt!”
The housing question is the social question of our time, particularly in Berlin. On the street, in bars and offices – wherever you listen tenants are worried: fear of modernization and rising rents, of displacement, conversion and housing shortages. In other circles as well people are talking about housing, but not as a home, as capital investment. Berlin is a city under the influence, under a bad influence. But Berliners have started fighting back: 40,000 people took to the streets in May for the “Mietenwahnsinn” demo. At about the same time HAU commissioned Christiane Rösinger to make a musical about the tenants movement. The musician and writer, who has been singing and writing about Berlin for 30 years with her bands Lassie Singers, Britta and also solo, brings the housing question to the stage with eight musicians and a chorus made up of Kreuzberg and Neukölln tenant activists. As specialists in the issues of displacement and tenant problems, they sing and dance their own stories. In the end of course everything will be fine – after all, it’s a musical!
