Abstract:
Together with an ensemble of actors with disabilities, filmmakers René Jeuckens, Peter Wallgram, and Grischa Windus conducted a six-month research project - in individual and group conversations about the night dreams of the ensemble members. This gave rise to the plot for the feature film “DAS LEBEN EIN TRAUM” (following the title of the classical play of Calderón de la Barca’s “La vida es sueño”). The film uses poetic images to explore the theme of inclusion and the limits of perception. It also explores the form an “inclusive film” might take.
