The Forum Theatre of the association "Zusammen - Leben - Gestalten" Jena presents a new scene that was created in collaboration with the research association "Dictatorship Experience and Transformation" and the Oral History Research Centre of the University of Erfurt.

The audience can actively intervene in the event and contribute their own ideas in order to discover possible solutions to social conflicts. All interested parties are cordially invited to attend. Admission is free.

The scene shown on this evening is based on an interview that was conducted as part of the project "Dictatorship Experience and Transformation" at the University of Erfurt, in which an experience from 2002 is described. The short story takes us into the working world of the 1990s and 2000s in the East German federal states. After the end of the GDR, the number of unemployed rose to 1.5 million by 1997. This meant that almost one in five people of working age was not in employment. Various employment policy measures meant that a large number of people were also working in sometimes precarious, so-called atypical employment relationships. The event makes reference to this.

By the way: The scene will also be performed on 23 September at 7 pm in Jena (Jenpuppets, Beutnitzer Str. 27, Jena-Ost).
