Vier WDR 3-Hörspiele zum Thema Entscheidung
What are the stories about freedom and decision-making that can still be told after Trump, Brexit etc? Which aesthetic tools and meanings can we reclaim? Which fictions can we defend?
In collaboration with Impulse, WDR 3 presents one week of radio plays by artists working in the spirit of the festival, whose content and aesthetics engage with the act of decision-making. And thus perform on another of the independent theater’s stages, in the ether.
Illegale Helfer
Maxi Obexer
Can help be illegal? This radio play takes a complex look at the role of those who help refugees – and involves us in issues of morality, naiveté and humanity.
WDR 5, Sunday, 25 June, 5:05 – 6 PM
WDR 3, Monday, 26 June, 7:04 – 8 PM
Die Unmöglichen
Paul Plamper & Julian Kamphausen
Progress in medical science demands that many parents-to-be or would-be parents-to-be make irreconcilable decisions about life or death. In ‘The Impossibles’ three in-vitro embryos speak and lead us into an endless loop of decision-making.

1LIVE, Tuesday, 27 June, 11 – midnight
TurboGermany
Leif Randt
TurboGermany is a movement, only what is it trying to achieve? Journalists, bystanders, activists are all grappling for a definition. The only thing that’s clear: it’s about a feeling of being alive, about a new attitude – to the others. To the world. And to Germany.
WDR 3, Wednesday, 28 June, 7:04 – 8 PM
Die Riesenfaust
Anne Lepper
Bonnie tears herself away from her previous life. But rather than the theater where she wants to be she ends up in a police choir that governs a very eccentric state through song.
