In the project Schubladen (Boxes), members of She She Pop (all of whom grew up in West Germany) join up onstage with antagonists socialized in East Germany to open up and rummage through each others boxes, to create a collective biography of the last 40 years from their personal materials of the performers. The letters, the excerpts from journals and other personal text documents will be chronologically sorted along with literature, political texts, music and pictures from each individual’s personal image repertoire. Questions about “the other side” must be answered without recourse to objective, authoritative sources. A polyphonic and deeply subjective history of the East-West German division will be recounted live. In Schubladen, “german reunification” is imagined as couples therapy. For these 3 East-West pairs reunification becomes a concrete task: live and onstage. She She Pop and her Eastern colleagues avow polyphony and collective narration. Gaps, incommensurabilities, imprecisions, and missing links are a part of their system. Who were we? Who are we? How did we get this way?
