🔥The fires of war, wilderness, anger, and desire all die out with time. Language endures, but meaning has been consumed.💨

🌪️Luftmasse is a new performance project by Paper Tiger Theater Studio, premiering in Germany in June 2026 in the context of Theater der Welt Chemnitz 2026. We are still collecting ashes from different places as part of the material and spatial context of the work.

The ash open call for Luftmasse is still ongoing.

Today we are sharing one sample from Nanjing.

Name / Profession: Song Yuke / student
Composition of the ash: cake packaging, mainly plastic and paper
Location: Nanjing

Source of the ash:
One evening, after a theatre group was asked to leave their rehearsal room, the group stayed together to celebrate one person’s birthday. In a corner of the library, they sang, shared cake, lit candles, offered blessings, and embraced him. After the gathering, each person chose one part of the cake packaging, placed it on the ground, set it on fire, and then watched it slowly cool into ash. There were many moments when the ashes seemed to reignite, so they kept watching for a very long time.

A sentence from the sender:
May the god of theatre watch over us, and may young lives continue to unfold on stage.

The project engages with war, climate, technological violence, and large-scale displacement, approaching them not as distant scenarios, but as material and political conditions that continue to shape the present.

papertiger.theater We are excited to invite you to the upcoming revival performances in January2025!
The production of Paper Tiger Theater Studio, commissioned by and successfully premiered in April 2023:
Revolution. Stachel im Fleisch革命: 幽灵的箭矢 Revolution. The Foe Of An Arrow Wound
For the performance”Revolution. The Foe Of An Arrow Wound,“Paper Tiger Theater Studio(Beijing / Berlin) was inspired by the scroll painting “Machang Lays Low the Enemy
Ranks“ at the Museum of Asian Art, focusing on the collections at the Humboldt Forum.The performance traces the ghosts of imperialism and colonialism attached to artefacts, crossing oceans and deserts, wandering unseen and uninvited through the ruins of palaces and the foundations of memory.
Five dancers and performers, a contemporary witness of SED leader Erich Honecker’s 1986 trip to China, a percussionist, and a DJ develop an associative panorama and invite the audience to the table of history. ”Revolution. The Foe Of An Arrow Wound“ highlights moments ranging from the masquerades of the Qianlong Emperor in the18th century to the colonial looting of the imperial palace and the black market for
artworks in Beijing during the so-called Boxer War around 1900, extending to our present times. Performances on January 17, 18, and 19, 2025, at7:00 PM at the Humboldt Forum.

We would be delighted to welcome you!
