Actually, 150 Munich residents were supposed to present themselves at the opening of the Münchner Kammerspiele in an urban space performance based on a concept by British artist Jeremy Deller and directed by Richard Gregory. The production team interviewed and photographed many great people, but before the event could be realized, the latest developments around the coronavirus put a damper on the performance. So it is more important then ever to occupy the public space with a live action to set an example for the diversity of life in this city.

As a unique happening, “What is the City” poses the question of the meaning of a functioning and lively city. The portrait shooting, which began with 60 Munich residents, will be continued live and accessible to everyone, with a band made up of Munich musicians playing. And everyone can make a statement about what Munich means to him or her and what needs to be changed.

Band: Tufan Aydoğan (Keyboard), Mori Dioubaté (Balafon), Simon Popp (Percussion), Manu Rzytki (Synthesizer)
