A Thorn in the Flesh by theater and dance collective Paper Tiger Theater Studio (Beijing\/Berlin) premiered at the Humboldt Forum. Due to its great success, the piece will be performed again from January 13, 2024. In the performance, Paper Tiger Theater Studio led by director Tian Gebing shed light on transcultural revolutions against the backdrop of colonial history. Taking the scroll painting Machang Breaks through Enemy Lines in the Museum for Asian Art as its starting point, the collective led by director Tian Gebing turns its focus to the collections in the Humboldt Forum. <\/p>\n<p>Five dancers, one performer, a witness to GDR leader Erich Honecker\u2019s trip to China in 1986, a skateboarder, a percussionist, and a DJ develop an associative panorama and get the audience to join them at the table of history. Revolution. A Thorn in the Flesh highlights events ranging from the masquerades of the Qianlong Emperor in the 18th 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 to the present day. The artistic production has been commissioned by the Humboldt Forum Foundation in the Berlin Palace.<\/p>\n<p>Trailer and Tickets: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humboldtforum.org\/en\/programm\/termin\/performance-en\/revolution-stachel-im-fleisch-75380\/\">humboldtforum.org<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-headline block-no-margin  hyph-disable\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\".h3\">PDF<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-press-image-select\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row pdf-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-press-item col-xs-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box pdf-row-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Resumption: Revolution_The Foe of an Arrow Wound<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"subline insignificant\">Press Release I Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdf-row-icons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<press-shopping-cart-inline inline-template>\n\t<div class=\"press-shopping-cart-inline\"  v-bind:class=\"{ 'isNotSelected': !isSelected, 'isSelected': isSelected }\">\n\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n{\n\"id\" : \"114566\",\n\"type\" : \"pdf\",\n\"snackbar_added\" : \"Added to downloads\",\n\"snackbar_removed\" : \"Deleted from download basket\",\n\"snackbar_link\" : \"https:\/\/www.humboldtforum.org\/en\/press\/download\/\",\n\"additional_data\" : null,\n\"name\" : \"Resumption: Revolution_The Foe of an Arrow Wound\"}\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<div class=\"vue-initialize\" ref=\"item\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"button-with-icon\" :class=\"{hidden:isSelected}\" @click=\"add\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">add to downloads<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t\t<button class=\"button-with-icon rem\" :class=\"{hidden:!isSelected}\" @click=\"remove\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-close\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">remove from downloads<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/press-shopping-cart-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humboldtforum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231205_PR_Revolution_The-Foe-of-an-Arrow-Wound.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" class=\"button-with-icon\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-download\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">Download<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-6 col-xs-offset-1 col-md-offset-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-button\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-press-item col-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box center-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<block-press-download-button inline-template>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"button-with-icon border\" @click=\"addAll\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">add all to downloads<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/block-press-download-button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On seven evenings starting April 21, 2023, the performance Revolution.
