Your home is our nightmare

How does it feel to be perceived as a threat on a daily basis? How much trust is there left in the security agencies after the NSU scandal? What does it mean to have to justify yourself in the name of your entire home country or your parents' religious affiliation in every crisis? And how does racism affect sexuality? The anthology Eure Heimat ist unser Albtraum is a manifesto against Heimat as a völkisch transfigured concept, against the normalization of which 14 German-language authors - among them numerous theater makers - are resisting. On the occasion of the first anniversary of the so-called "Ministry of Homeland", Fatma Aydemir and Hengameh Yaghoobifarah collect unsparing perspectives on a racist and anti-Semitic society. In personal essays, they provide insight into their everyday lives and hold up a mirror to Germany: a country that sees itself as an exemplary democracy and at the same time marks a part of its members as "different", hardly protecting or valuing them.
