about the piece

The climate monologues offer an insight into the global struggles against climate change and show how people in different regions experience the effects of climate change in their own life stories.

effects on Berlin

This play is also important for Berlin. The capital of Germany is also affected by the effects of climate change. In the coming decades, the rising sea level can lead to the storm surges on the coastal lines and thus also endanger areas of Berlin. In addition, extreme weather events such as heat waves and heavy rain can also occur in Berlin and impair the quality of life of the population.

The value of cultural events for climate protection

Dr. Catrin Gocksch, district councilor for Education, Culture and Sport (CDU), emphasizes the importance of cultural events in the context of climate protection. The "climate monologues" impressively show the global effects of climate change and tell the stories of people who suffer from the consequences. Such artistic representations can sharpen the awareness and understanding of climate change in the population and promote the willingness of sustainable action.

documentary theater

The "climate monologues" are an example of documentary theater. Director Michael Ruf has detailed interviews with the protagonists, who can often take several hours or even days. In the performance, these interviews are then shortened and compressed, although nothing is invented and the language of the interviewees is maintained.

collaboration and promotion

The event takes place in cooperation with the F3_ Collective for Political Education and is promoted globally by commitment by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
