Münster, Babylon: A multitude of languages is alive in people – brought to light in the installation Zungenbrecher – Die Geste des Sprechens.
Flurstücke-Production of the Filmwerkstatt Münster | Production Management Katharina Siemeling
Frederike Koch and Christof Debler had 50 Münster residents from different backgrounds recite a stumbling verse – a tongue twister – in their native language in front of the camera, captured their skills and failures and edited them into a spoken word concert for three simultaneously running films.
The production was shown at the Flurstücke-Festival between 20 and 23 June 2019 on the meadow next to the Aaseekugeln.

The result sounds like an ingenious mixture of rap, mantra and poetry slam. And also proves what unites us all: nobody’s perfect….
