TAGFISH by Berlin Berlin
14 – 16 April 2011, National Museum

The Flemish theater group Berlin makes cinematic theater, a blend of documentary, performance and video. Tagfish tells the story of the UNESCO world heritage site Zollverein, an abandoned coalmining complex in the German Ruhr area. People set to work searching for new purposes for the vacant industrial heritage site. One of them is Sheikh Hanna Yamani who dreams of a hotel construction project. But can a world heritage site be sold? Proponents and opponents each have their own opinions about this. So six individuals appear on six vertical flat screens that are situated around a long table to discuss the issue : the architect, the town planner, the professor, the negotiator, the journalist and the provocateur. These people have never met before in real life. The seventh chair is empty, waiting for the Sheikh to occupy it, if he arrives. There’s a lot to talk about.
