The group "Nomadic Minutes" works in the fields of theater, dance, philosophy, and translation, engaging artistically and communicatively with the cultures of China and Germany. In Wiepersdorf, they are developing their project "To Mom, I want to …", which will be presented on March 23 at 3:00 p.m. as a work in progress.

The Berlin-based collective Nomadic Minutes consists of the artists CAO Kefei, ZHOU Niannian, ZHANG Deng and LIU ShiYu. They were born in China in four different decades, live and work in Germany and are active in artistic creation and cultural exchange between the two continents. "To Mom, I want to ..." is a co-creation with author and playwright Jiayun Zhuang, who lives in China and the USA.

In "To Mom, I want to …", the group focuses on their relationships with their mothers, exploring the interplay between their diaspora experiences in Germany and their emotional connection to their homeland. The piece examines how individuals continuously navigate temporal and physical distances, information asymmetries, and sociocultural differences between their country of origin and their host society.

The production is supported by Theatre YOUNG Shanghai and Ballhaus Ost in Berlin and will premiere in both cities in 2025. During their residency at Schloss Wiepersdorf, Nomadic Minutes will offer a first glimpse into "To Mom, I want to …" with a work in progress showing on March 23 at 3:00 p.m.

The event will be held mainly in German.
