FrauVonDa//: STILL::SILENCE

AckerstadtPalast Berlin, 23/05

In May 2025, the month commemorating the end of the Second World War, FrauVonDa// creates an ode to democracy with STILL::SILENCE.
At the centre of the installation concert is the moving and unacknowledged greek resistance of the female partisans against the German occupation, and the question of a universal human understanding of justice and democracy.
