#STUDIO PRODUCTION
‘Tolerance should actually only be a temporary attitude: it must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to offend.’ (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Nowadays, most people think they know everything about HIV and Aids and discrimination seems to be a marginal phenomenon in our society. But what happens if you are HIV-positive? Viewers are invited to accompany the everyday lives of HIV-positive people and people suffering from AIDS. They will experience both obvious and hidden forms of discrimination and see their negative consequences for the lives of people with HIV/AIDS. Very personal stories will be told through movements and specially prepared texts. Help us turn tolerance into acceptance.
PRODUCTION
In co-production with studiobühneköln and Aidshilfe NRW e.V. – Supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Cologne and Aktion Mensch. With the kind support of MVZ Innere Medizin Köln and Birken Apotheke.
