ICH TRÄUM VON EINER FREMDEN WELT - I DREAM OF A FOREIGN WORLD

The plot

Two newly formed welcome classes, with children from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon meet a German primary school class, in Berlin. Together with the theatre group ‘Drehbühne Berlin’ a play is created, about their own dreams and nightmares, over a two- week workshop. The film follows the theater group and their successful attempt to overcome language barriers and fear of contact, with the help of a specially created puppet. It accompanies the children on a journey towards their first performance and demonstrates the ease with which theatre can help these deeply traumatised children to overcome their “monsters”, through their own imagination. The film gives a glimpse into the children’s tragic stories and observes them, laughing, playing and not worrying about how integration can work.
