Theatre project in the classroom: The GDR as an audio tour

The article describes a theater project in a Berlin school where students explore historical protests against the demolition of gasometers in East Germany during the late 1980s. The class, part of an elective group, engages in role-playing and dialogue with a former activist, Micha Koch, who participated in protests against the destruction of the gasometers in Prenzlauer Berg. The students ask questions about his experiences, including being arrested by the Stasi, while Koch reflects on their current interest in learning about this period of East German history. The project highlights efforts to educate younger generations about lesser-known aspects of East Germany’s past, such as localized resistance before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
