Palast der Republik2004

Filmed on November 4, 2004, at the Palast der Republik in Berlin, the former Parliament building and symbol of the no-longer-extant Deutsche Demokratische Republik (East Germany). Einstürzende Neubauten found the steel skeleton of the ruins of the Palast a congenial location for their architectural-musical fantasies and field studies. Accompanied by a one-hundred member choir, they played in (and with) the building in their inimitable, almost literally building-collapsing fashion.
