tiny ruins*. performance with Forough Fami @ St.-Pauls-Kirche Wedding, November 15th 2024, 7 pm / free entrance, no registration needed

After its destruction in World War II, St.-Pauls-Kirche was renovated from 1952 to 1957. While the exterior of the antique-inspired church, designed by Karl-Friedrich-Schinkel, was restored to its original state, the decision was made to remove the classical pillars and plaster ornaments from the interior. Today, the tiny ruins which remain of these decorations sit in a corner, quietly collecting dust. Besides that, speaking of tiny ruins also relates to human beings going through moments of crisis: lost loves, broken ties, shattered hopes, … We, too, break, over and over again, become “tiny ruins”. Tiny in comparison to the whole of this city, this country, this planet, and beyond. Our wounds and losses do not matter so much in the bigger picture, despite how tragic they feel to us. Just as ruins open a space to rebuild, our personal falls make room for renewal, for the change we may not even know we need.

*tiny ruins is the name of a band. and we don’t want to steal it. just borrow it for one night.
