It serves as a basis for discussion on the question of which materials are appropriate for children, especially against the problematic background that childhood and naivety are often seen as a privileged perspective on life. After an introduction by Marcel Schwierin, director of the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art and long-time curator of Rosen, new film and visual material by the artist will be shown for the first time at the beginning of the evening. The works come from Rosen&#8217;s current, brutally surreal series <em>Kafka for Kids<\/em>, which combines elements of comic drama fiction, documentary, musical and animation based on the artist&#8217;s drawings. Childhood is then viewed from a completely different perspective: The awkward, intricate details by which Israeli military law defines childhood in the occupied Palestinian territories. Hani Furstenberg, an accomplished actress and long-time collaborator of Rosen, appears as a fictional legal scholar and gives a strangely eroticized and, in terms of logic, completely opaque explanation of the Kafkaesque legal reality of the occupation.     <\/p>\n<p>In film, drawing, writing and performance, <strong>Roee Rosen<\/strong> explores alternative worlds that are related to ours, yet exist separately from them through farce, tragedy and near-truths. He often imagines historical figures or ties unfounded stories to existing ones; he weaves desirable or humorous twists into current events and pushes history or politics to their illogical extremes. He has dealt with the following figures, among others: Marquis de Sade, Georges Bataille, Vladimir Putin, Franz Kafka and Eva Braun.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Hani Furstenberg<\/strong> is an actress known internationally for her performances on stage and screen. She spent her early career in Israel, where she starred in television series and award-winning films such as <g id=\"gid_1\">Yossi and Jagger<\/g> and <g id=\"gid_2\">Campfire <\/g>, and was a regular cast member at Tel Aviv&#8217;s The Cameri Theatre. She has lived in New York since 2010 and has appeared in internationally acclaimed films such as <em>The Loneliest Planet <\/em>and <em>The Golem<\/em>.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>A cooperation between the Volksb\u00fchne, Berlin and the Edith-Russ-Haus<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"event-format":[96],"class_list":["post-7764","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","event-format-performance"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/7764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-format?post=7764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
