Based on the stories of the Tirailleurs, the Schattenmuseum—consisting of young people aged fourteen and above, many with migration histories—opens up perspectives on current sociopolitical issues in an interactive performance. Through a collage of Ernst Jandl’s sound poems, quotes, advertising texts, and interviews, a space unfolds that invites visitors to participate and engage in conversation with each other. Topics addressed include compulsory military service, the ‘cityscape’ (Stadtbild) debate, and the expectations of different generations.
