Theater performance as part of the Multicultural Weeks in Rostock
The LOMIR theater from Rostock plays and sings about the importance of Jewish theater. LOMIR has been around since 2017 and is an open theater project for amateur actors and actresses. It belongs to the Jewish community of Rostock and offers intercultural dialog through the means of performing arts.
The program "Lomir, ale in eynem!" combines excerpts from two of the theater's productions.
"Die Nacht vergeht", loosely based on the novel "Liebe deinen Nächsten" by E. M. Remarque, is set in Europe in 1937/38. The love story of two young Jewish migrants is told against the backdrop of the approaching chaos. Ruth and Kern have to leave their homeland of Germany. The play is dedicated to all those who, in times of the greatest impenetrable darkness, did not allow their conscience to be silenced, helped Jews at the risk of their lives and believed that the night would one day pass.
"All Together" by V. Faerman is about a Jewish theater in a small town by the sea, perhaps it is even Rostock. A new play is to be staged. But it's not really a play at all, more a hodgepodge of text fragments, theater instructions, anecdotes and the big, eternal questions, which of course once again remain unanswered. It is a naive story about life, in which we are supposed to understand that the differences between us are not given to us to divide or antagonize us, but to learn to respect and love each other. We all belong together in this world.
