Some time ago, Daria Vystavkina came to me with an idea.
And invited me into this journey.
She was working steadily, carefully building it step by step.
I was… running in late, jumping in between everything else, catching up in bursts — but trying not to fall behind.
And now it’s real.
Перформанс-этнография: Жизнь в условиях исторического разрыва
A full academic course — with 6 ECTS credits, hosted by the University of Bonn.
This is not just a course.
It’s a space where theatre becomes a way of thinking, researching, and making sense of reality.
We will work with:
• Playback Theatre — as a space of witnessing and shared stories
• Documentary Theatre — working with archives, memory, testimony
• Biographical theatre and performance ethnography
• And the connection between personal experience and historical context
We will build a temporary research community — and from there create.
And yes, there will be a final performance.
For me, this is something very important.
Because it brings together things I’ve been working with for years —
Playback, stories, social context, meaning-making — but now in a deeper, more structured, academic frame.
The course explores a very simple and very difficult question:
what does it mean to live through historical rupture?

I’m honestly very glad this is happening.
And very curious who will join us in this process.
Come if you feel this resonates.
