winterlieb – libawka
Julius Günzel, Maja Nagel
Wintergreen (›Winterlieb‹ in German) is a very rare type of plant. Edith and Kito Penk know all about it and when they wander across the Muskau Heath, they take note of its disappearance. The edge of the open-cast mine is moving closer and closer to their village. They fight to protect the countryside they love. The kitchen is a place of retreat and a space for storytelling. This is part two of an account of the quietly determined campaign to stop open-cast mining in Upper Lusatia – accompanied by Sorbian music and poetry.
Guests: Maja Nagel, Klara Nagel
