MUNICH — In the summer of
2015, the world watched in astonishment as Germans cheered crowds of refugees
streaming into train stations throughout the country. Scenes from that
unprecedented — and short-lived — moment of welcome form part of “What They
Want to Hear,” one of two current productions about exile and its ordeals at
the Münchner Kammerspiele, one of Munich’s, and Germany’s, most important
theaters.
Since 2015, Matthias
Lilienthal, the company’s artistic director, has turned the theater into a
forum for creative experimentation, social engagement and political inquiry.
The spotlight that these productions shine on the struggles of refugees seems
especially urgent given that Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open border policy is
under attack, especially here in the state of Bavaria.
One of Mr. Lilienthal’s recent
initiatives has been the Open Border Ensemble, a group of five Syrian
actors who have been invited to realize projects at the Kammerspiele. “What
They Want to Hear,” a collaboration between Raaed Al Kour, a Syrian
archaeologist, and Lola Arias, an Argentine director, is the ensemble’s second
major production this season.
Mr. Al Kour arrived in Germany
four years ago and has been caught in bureaucratic limbo ever since as he waits
for his application for refugee status to be decided. Directed by Ms. Arias, he
presents the story of his absurd saga in “What They Want to Hear.”
