How does the project work?
Four Armenian and four German actors and actresses will collaborate in an intensive theater workshop at the GOROD Kulturzentrum in Munich from the 11th to the 14th of November 2025. The focus is on exploring the theme of shame – a universal emotion shaped strongly by culture. Through scenic exercises, improvisations, and discussions, participants will explore personal and societal perspectives on this theme.
The workshop concludes with a public, multilingual showcase (in German, English, Armenian, Russian, among others), presenting the outcomes of the collaborative work.

Schedule

Workshop Theme: "Shame"
Shame is a feeling everyone knows – and yet it is experienced and processed very differently depending on cultural context. The workshop will explore these differences and commonalities. The focus is not only on personal or social shame, but also on the role of shame in the arts: How do artists deal with the fear of exposing themselves? How strong is the desire to appear smart, morally superior, or always one step ahead? These tensions are often palpable in contemporary theater.
