Abstract
Two dancers, a musician - a narrator. Evoked memories of encounters on the night train between Zurich and Budapest. A rebellion against one's own disadvantage mixes with unreflected xenophobia.
"du woher" tells of touching and at the same time alienating encounters between an emigrated Hungarian woman and other Eastern Europeans. On the night train, she meets people who travel to nearby countries for better-paid work, thus escaping economic disadvantage in their home country. She meets strong-willed people who are driven by the search for better prospects for themselves and their families, but also encounters prejudice, xenophobia and a lack of empathy for the socially weaker and disadvantaged. She experiences that there is always the next weakest link in a society, through which inequality, demarcation and hierarchy can be created. She experiences people who have internalized and apply right-wing conservative ideas, even if they themselves experience exclusion. It becomes clear that what is foreign, who is a migrant and who is not, who is a minority and who is not, is always a question of perspective. In the staging of the story, choreography, language, sounds and melodic fragments flow smoothly into one another.
