Roden (2025)

The woods, the forest, the plantation. Wood, charcoal, palm oil. Where trees are cleared, the way people meet, farm and live together changes, locally and universally. Together with the Congolese women's rights activist Olande Byamungu, the Indonesian instrument maker and musician Ikbal Lubys and the German carpenter and performer Wolfram Sander, the documentary filmmaker and theatre director Daniel Kötter is developing a film parcours and theatre forest in Roden / Kukata Mi/ / Pembalakan, taking the audience to the Bergisches Land near Cologne, to the Indonesian palm oil plantations in Kalimantan and to the charcoal kilns in South Kivu, DR Congo.
