Dear Resilient Revolt Community,

From 07. – 12. of September 2021, the International Car Exhibition (IAA) will be hosted in Munich, accompanied by a #noIAA protest camp hosted by a broad range of actors – from NGOs to kitchen-collectives to direct-action networks and many more…

While there are still negotiations with the City of Munich about the Protest Camp, one thing is sure: It will be there, if allowed or not.

And the Resilient Revolt Network will be there, too!

 

When?

September 7th to 12th 2021

Where?

Munich, #noIAA Protest Camp (exact location is not entirely sure yet – all registered people will be informed.)

What?

Activist exchange for all theatre-interested people (experienced or not). There will be:

• Street-theatre interventions with longer preparation time
• Workshop: self-care and resilience for activists
• Workshop: Poetry of the oppressed
• Little actions accompanying the bigger demonstrations
• Open space for ideas and impulses
• …and let’s see what else is going to happen!

You’ll find more information about the workshops below

Who?

There will be people of the Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) network. Feel free to join, no matter how much experience you have with theatre!

What do we want?

-> We want to discuss, connect, and act with activists from a broad spectrum of political environments

-> Our presence in the camp is not only thought of as a theatre space, but also as a platform for people to reflect and engage in a bigger political discourse, right at the center of political action.

How can I register?

Option 1) This Form

Option 2) Write us an e-mail: tdu_muc@posteo.de

Costs?

• The protest camp is free of charge
• Your transport costs will be covered. We welcome it if you donate them to Resilient Revolt which can make good use of them. This applies especially for activists from the white middle classes who don’t have the urgent need to get reimbursed.

Accommodation?

Option 1: Camping at the protest camp

Option 2: If you prefer to sleep safely in a flat with a proper bed, we’ll find you one

What about COVID-Security?

• Please come tested (PCR or Antigen-Test), no matter if you are vaccinated or recovered.
• We will provide a test station at the camp
• We will need your name and contact information in the registration for Corona tracking. Note that you may use action names for this.

Why should I participate?

You know why. The climate crisis is an intersectional crisis caused by capitalism, patriarchy and racism.

The IAA is a symbol for all three of them.

See you at the camp or in the streets!

WORKSHOP 4

Understanding Power

When?	11th of September, ca. 1:30 hours (time will be announced soon)
What?	The Zapatista claim that the purpose of revolutionary acts is not to take over or destroy power, but to transform it. Thus the relationship between the oppressive and the oppressed needs to be reflected and recreated in a way that an non-exploitative kind of relationship becomes possible. Theatre of the oppressed offers us methods to understand and transform relationships of power. In this workshop we collectively explore the power-relationships of our own bodies and minds.

WORKSHOP 5

Self Care for Activists

When?	10th of September, 1 to 4 pm
What?	Organizing food and infrastructure for thousands of activists, sitting in blockades, going through GeSa, hosting endless assemblies, writing emergency PR-statements late at night and so on is exhausting. Some of these experiences may be even traumatic. What can we do against it? Knowledge about Trauma and Trauma-releasing body work may help to overcome acute exhaustions and can be used as a skill to relief stresses and the key to self regulation in and after situation of extreme stress.
