Das Wort für Welt ist Wald
On Athsche, the forest is more than just part of the landscape: it is the foundation of life, the collective memory, and the identity of the people of Athsche.
The Forgotten Stories Behind “Avatar”
On Athsche, the forest is more than just a landscape: it is the foundation of life, the memory, and the identity of the Athscheans. They live in a nonviolent community based on responsibility and interconnectedness with the forest. When humans colonize the planet and exploit its resources, a spear-shaped heroic tale collides with the Athschean forest, and resistance stirs.
Three dreamers speculate about the world and examine the entanglements between landscape, bodies, violence, and resistance.
Following ‹The Snow Queen› and ‹20,000 Leagues Is More Than We Thought›, Franz Broich once again explores a speculative world. Based on Ursula K. Le Guin’s story, which also inspired the film *Avatar*, the production asks how stories shape our view of the world, which voices beyond the human are overlooked in the process—and how we can learn new stories and forget others.
