love artists around the world responded to the pandemic in germany. ready the theatre festival explore ways out at the crisis. taking a humorous look at the general sense of disorientation. but 1st we go to gonna, where one painter is portraying the way many families have stuck together. dw reporter isaac galaxy has the story from the capital. a cra, cornelius, an, or has been painting for the past 8 years. he started off with just random objects and people. but 2 years ago, something changed. he got married during the pandemic. since then, he's focused on themes related to families. it was his way of highlighting the effect of the pandemic on people drilled upon me dollars when i realized that upon dominic brought a lot of families together. so i need to work on

a family works. so does when i decided to get a lot of ideas and also during my, my res to it was a good nicholas. i to my center part of my family. so this all inspired me to, to really be waking on our family oh teams. his latest works, poetry, families who gather to spend quality time together during the various locked downs, helping each other deal with the impact of the pandemic. covert 19 brought many restrictions, and many families lost love ones. thousands of guinea ends lost their jobs as well . and or doesn't want to remain people constantly of the pain the suffered but he does hope that his works will help them reflect on what they've been through.

but oh, i will say i would like to give the viewer freeze please. in the, on my own to, to really to my wife's does what does what my mean 4 goals because everybody has a family. so i want to view or to really feel free and really to my wake ah, to get the discount of attention. and through my way, emmanuel or cyber tang is receiving art lessons from annoy. he struggled with drugs and depression during the pandemic, and taking up painting is proving very therapeutic for him. what spy for the family seems adopted by honor. he decided to play his portrait of a girl who struggled with mental health during the walk down in the capital a crowd. she ended up taking her own life. her story is

a reflection of his own struggles. and i do drugs and i'm, i'm fighting to to, to stop it. but it is not easy in all imagine those talk people on the street margin to was children on the street who are lonely, emotional south of a cra, we meet newly in a bus. he lost a friend to cove it. he also lost his teaching job and for months couldn't see his family. it was a very difficult time, but honours artworks drew his attention to another aspect of the pandemic. one of the things i think we should, if there is a need rather thank of it for the fact that it brought relatives together because everybody's really wacky and everybody's went out doing the activities. but that moment that we had to be in there for 3 weeks. i think it's a moment that many people would appreciate in his did you cornelius are

norris helping a number of other painters? for him, art is a way to remind people of coven 19. and how it changed lives now to taiwan, where video, artists, gen mount chang, has had his life turned upside down by the pandemic. his late, his work still with the isolation and confinement that he experienced during coin gene a traumatic experience that has changed him. setting up an art exhibition in the midst of the largest local outbreak. 10 ma chung found at the 1st company in taiwan that specializes in the technical planning of art events. there are any 3 days left before the show and he stressed out. if anyone on the side gets cove, it, they will have to stop working with truth, very chaotic, which i think there was a very strong feeling of uncertainty. you can't foresee what's going to happen.

parts of everything is just so unpredictable because you're constantly anxious and thinking about planning b. yes. so you 10 is also an artist himself. he's been working in the industry for 20 years. he says the pandemic has changed the art scene and not with more and more exhibitions going virtual. but he still things live shows are irreplaceable. and his movies on the whole point of an art exhibition is to come and see the at your work or object. the feeling is very direct, but when everything becomes of c, c, d, inside a screen, the color makes of red, blue and green fire. it becomes very distant after the events tremble and no true there shouldn't sounds. and who has the time to watch all the online shows sources and it's actually a time drain, go, and constantly distracts you up with one of our friends on through the cove. it has traumatized him personally. he went through a 14 day quarantine when the pandemic 1st broke out in early 2020. it was just like

solitary confinement and he had a mental breakdown. after his release he was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder gern bounce ogre than him come to him. i was can find alone where comes forced to confront my inner self children and the things i hit in my heart, which we don't know is if it amplified the worst part of me without decisions. although they only restrict you physically and it does have a mental impact in wyoming, so he captures the sense of detachment in his latest work. the piece questions, the authorities, expansion of power in times of code it. it also explores the dynamics of control and breaking free from control. when are you above the night? we've always lived in a world of 1984 and says into the pandemic only made it more obvious. but it's not just a virus with that. it's biological warfare on yours, perhaps started from an accident where it was premeditated. we don't know. but it

has developed into a new mechanism of control. it is by nature. a war happens. thomson chen says the pandemic reminds him of the impermanence of life. he has re prioritized his goals, hoping to spend less time on exhibition planning and more time on art buildings and voicemail was in my my only live on the season. so i want to focus more on myself and reconnect with my feelings. i'll bow the covet experience as deep in my sense of detachment, or it's a unique part of myself of our dual as was and how can i make it sharper value? that's what i'll have to do more to going to enjoy this either. what else jen mar. chung says that the pandemic broke him into pieces. but it's also wake up, cool to look into his in it. well, is there

a way that we could prepare more effectively? the feature pandemic. d. w science correspondent derek williams. keeps you up to date on the latest research. this week, he answers the question, could ultra violet light technology could control future pandemic o. o. true violet. radiation in a specific part of the spectrum known as u. v. c has long been used. the disinfect places like laboratories or, or operating rooms in hospitals, and especially early in the pandemic. sales of commercial u. v. c. products. adapting the technology for use in the home like like boxes for disinfecting phones or, or keys. they went through the roof. the problem is that using germ aside all u, v c, and public spaces, to kill off pathogens floating around in the air that could also potentially pose

a health threat because at a lot of wavelengths, u, b. c. radiation doesn't just kill microbes, and it can also harm your skin and your eyes. so, large scale use of any technology would have to find a kind of sweet spot employing only very specific wavelengths that are harmless to human cells, but deadly to pathogens. a recent study carried out by researchers from the u. s. and the u. k. looked at that sweet spot and their results were quite encouraging from a ceiling in a large test room. they hung 5 lamps radiating light at what are called far u, v. c. wavelengths, which other studies have shown don't cause any damage to us. and then they started pumping an aerosol, ised microbes to mimic an infectious person. it's really hard to do these kinds of

experiments by the way. and this was the 1st time that one like this had been performed in a way that really came close to real life conditions. anyhow, the upshot is that when all of the lamps were on the system killed over 98 percent of the airborne microbes within just 5 minutes. that's a really remarkable finding. but of course, it's still a long way away from a world where germs idle u. v. c lamps are used and a wide spread way to control air borne pathogens and endorse faces. there are plenty of issues left to be worked out, including proving that long term exposure to far u. v. c. really is as harmless to humans as it appears. but if the method does pan out, it has several major advantages. the biggest is that it would likely be effective

against not just stars covey too, but also against a wide range of other pathogens, like influenza viruses and tuberculosis and, and it would probably continue to kill all of those pathogens no matter how they mutate it. so it could help with the issue of, of drug resistance. um, the experts that i read are hopeful that the technology will become available sooner rather than later. especially for large indoor van use that can act as, as f, as enters for super spreader events. nash . oh, a cat that hunches it's mark and his is not slightly the meaning of god and we find in spanish it's the name of a rap band. in chile, it's raising the alarm and against women which is worsened. in the panoramic. dw

sophia, on bag ripples with my sack. lemme cheese sta or the much as massacre is the name of this song. by god . her angry found the feminist rap connected from chile. the song was born during the pandemic. a time when violence against women increased world wide. the 4 women who hailed from santiago and bo put i so didn't just perform music. they also gave out women's hygiene products during the pandemic. and all the same quote that we decided to meet up and talk about what was happening about the family reflection unless we talked about the aid packages that the government was handing out to cover basic needs, including food and hygiene articles. but no one talked about the need for menstrual

hygiene products for the f one economist, right? i must suck. lemme cheese stir. also talks about the many women who've been murdered in chile and president. nobody said a lot of customers during the pandemic. there were lots of cases of fem aside and of women disappearing soon. it was shocking to realize that the danger was not only out on the straight who didn't believe about in our in harms than it said, the other guy we often experience repression, that harm can be via pony. so that's why this song expresses so much pain that it will not answer them in them. and there are no daughter. the 4 women don't just produce music. they also give workshops the 1st song that they performed in the santiago free radio station, plaza, digney dud, came into being during a workshop at a prison for young offenders. ah,

let me just see on here. okay. and in every see on a lease with the law, our collective doesn't just make music, although that's what we focused on most of late. and with that we have several different gigs. i mean the educational side and the well pretty so right courses and breathe. i'll wrap workshops and you're at least then format of the form and the music project. all the songs and lyrics are developed during the workshop. of course, is there a break dog? i think the women are now looking to record their 1st album. it's an e p with 6 tracks all written in the last few years and focusing on violence against women fem aside and abortion rise. nothing

level. you included the idea just developed out of the social context in which we live. he said, we wanted to speak out. we've always felt drawn to music because we're all sing, as i said in the end result with songs that will now be on our pay. nothing. take us, the honest, it's a lack of it. i want to go from one with a legal i, with the women say they'll continue to rep on the streets, getting their message out loud and clear. now here in germany theaters and finally back up and running a drama festival in the city who has been exploring the sense of disorientation felt by in the antenna taking

a light hearted approach. these abused stephanie tolben went along oh, the characters in the plea after all springfield by belgian artist meat develop. try their best to come together over and over again. but their inability and dysfunctionality create more and more chaos and havoc and their interactions with each other. they just can't seem to get together. oh, the belgian slapstick mix of body and object theater featured at this year's fee, dana puppet theater festival in germany.

these a these are action that sterile the time, which is also very funny. how much that reflects what life is lacking now? well to, if we all keep trying, we mean the same thing, but when not compatible, 7 is compound. so our communication doesn't work in a co, monica soon. disruptions and communication and the growing divisions in our societies unleashed by the pandemic, where the dominating themes of the festival program. this year's motto was questioning the world the hunger. we did the civically search for productions that deal with this fame of the low dimensional ponder entities as t my that examine how we deal with the trade with fast, how we relate to confusing my medicine that explore these issues on stage. this comes out very clearly in a german production called shell game. last and paranoia land is by the boy whom

performance collective anake epoch. the audience takes an active part in the piece . they play the role of space taurus who crash landed on an alien planet and have to reorient themselves from scratch using the contradictory information with which they are confronted. at the beginning, every one is given a rule card that sets out what attitude they are to take oh yeah, may come with me and says if we guy will all die. do that, and from out there under the, the information that they gather during the play, the role cards and the conversations that they have with the performers leads them to decide for themselves what has happened here and who is behind all of that of the flag battleship has every member of the audience has to decide?

who do i try to reach a tower? that's a very important decision making. question. the who do i trust? which theory about what's behind all of this? do i actually subscribe to excuse? it was anguish, and in the former backroom steelworks, which now serves as a venue productions explored the massive impact that the pandemic had on working conditions and performance options. the artists of punch ocoee tried out new models of collaboration. here at the festival. they produced a larger than life monster balloon that was then made ready for its 1st flight out . after more than 2 years of the pandemic, things are still far from normal for there was working in arts and culture when there are insane levels of instability right now. oh, it affects me too. as my math is too much on all for now,

because artists have had true years of producing things. good is gary. i like with that. maybe it's also an opportunity listening because something is changing. the wellness off. people have been producing things without the pressure of an upcoming premier or the need to achieve a result from quimby until so you're getting hoshal results being shown. because again, there's a feeling of transformation underway. i'm poor. what hasn't changed is that the arts is continue to hold up a mirror to their audience. in finally to blend it's areese and where a filmmaker ac did you have made a comedy about their life together as a young couple in quarantine? a lot can go wrong when 2 people a confined to a small space. actress konstanz,

our faith man and filmmaker, augustine mandela, how to sue, had just decided to move in together. when argentina went into lockdown, that was march 2020. the restrictions and burners are, is, lasted 6 months. being confined to such a small space was a challenge until the couple started filming their daily life together. that had been to the market doyle good. suddenly we couldn't work any more and found ourselves locked up together in the apartment. i wasn't at all a home dose. luckily, we brought a camera. he bought a sort of valuable jona. i'm a camera man legal model, so he'd brought a camera to have it in case something happened that was worth filming. that even though they said that i thought everybody barefoot at 1st it was very difficult for me. after a while we started filming documentary stuff, but then we made the decision to start testing a scraped and putting fiction into it. then beserra than once we started filming nash young and making a felon wish jacqueline, the quarantine completely changed for us because we were busy all the time. was it

up a little taller, in pickle, both on because a we started trying things out with the camera and look intending to make a short film, heretical. we focused on some of the issues that had dominated our life together. the fact that constance came to my apartment skate the fact that we weren't such consolidated couple. and so the pandemic became about filming inside the apartment and gone soleah lab anemia for us. that was the pandemic in modern that i live alone is off. whatever me. oh, yeah, but i am, was almost the end result was a full length comedy with a title claim and tina it premiered at this year's born as our as international independent film festival. the event was staged with all the splendor of pre pandemic times. so either bertha or was on her home, daughter of in the dog domain, didn't not have worth it in 2020. we couldn't hold the festival and a pretty good to we're in 2021. we did a simplified version where all the films are just once or twice or some in person

and some in theaters that had just opened to sally. we had screenings outdoors, and cultural centers with you, i. now finally, we're back to a face to face as to one, almost the same as before. my, i don't mean listen where foreign guests will once again present interaction between the artists and the public was also back along with the master classes. and the, when it was clement, the lemon, tina argentina's world premier of can stanza feldman in august in mendel. house to the jury highlighted the movie, simplicity, freshness and subtle humor, in portraying everyday life. with you, i learned that there's been such an atmosphere of joy and happiness at the festival . here a real party is enough either on the way really happy. and so excited clementine started off. it's a very small project. it was just going to be a harm made chart film, but little by little to project row and ended up as a feature length film. and he, we are,

we can't quite believe at full movie fans the festival was of real highlight after 2 years of mainly online screenings and see movies have to be at the movie theater. no, not at home or online online. i, you know, well, the return to the cinema is a bit it because a fear, the virus on the and from that mother really, i love it. i love the to feel like his the also delighted to have a film premier at the cinema elite that a know at 1st little planning a series of short films as soon as they did. and when we prem, yet apple 1st installment, it felt really empty. here we were just to learn them in what janice tied seeing and what she had. i'm a little screen lea, ian up on that he down to the oregon. but out, if that ain't when i compare that with her mirror with the one the other day in the giant room, god with a big screen. incredible sound and everything that happened later on,

it's just amazing brussel if with a level and the truth is you have to watch up parents the ugliness of the other until once again. appreciate how nice it is to be in a movie theater. up at his jada, llewellyn locust than it is of the couple say it's the audience that makes the film complete. they're convinced of that. now, more than ever. we're a playful species and it's social 1. 2 people in many parts of the world are enjoying being able to meet up again, socially that so this week, next time we'll have more on the latest corona virus research with
