At the centre of Delschad Numan Khorschid's part of the show stands an oversized pencil wrapped in rusty barbed wire. After the Anfal genocide, Kurdish children in northern Iraq were barred from school, and Khorschid taught himself to read and write with pencil stubs and paper scraps he found in the rubbish. The first school he ever attended was a Berlin acting school, in 2016.

The show fills three rooms. Khorschid, now in the Residenztheater ensemble, brings prose and poems, many written for this show, with paintings, photographs, a video and objects from his childhood. Jan-Hendrik Pelz adds large, mostly photorealistic paintings and sculptures about other people's flight. You read your way through it as much as you look.

It closes on 8 November. €9 (€5 reduced, under-18s free) covers the whole house. On Friday 6 November entry is free until 22:00, with backgammon, çay and beginner workshops in the foyer.
