Millennial History

  • Summary

  • In Millennial History, we relive recent history through the eyes of millennials who were there when it happened. In interviews with musical journalist Andrea Voets, they unpack their ‘deep story’: the reality as they experienced it as children. Eight episodes take us to the murder of anti-mafia judge Falcone in Sicily, the unwanted ‘Children of the Decree’ of Ceausescu in Romania, The Troubles in Northern Ireland and change and unification in East Germany. The music has been offered by 60 bands from these 4 places. Hundreds of layers of sound & music enable bold and meaningful conversations.

    Host Andrea Voets speaks with Mick ter Reehorst from Are We Europe about the making of the show.

    How did Voets and composer Luke Deane create these episodes, with hundreds of layers of words & music? Why did she want to turn the hidden perspectives of the underdogs of history into musical journalism? How was she changed by the stories of the millennials? And most importantly: why should we care?

  • Change and Unification - Part 2
    May 28 2022

    Inga, Winnie, Burkhard and Henning take us to the 90s: a decade of Change and Unification of East and West into the Germany we know today. They recall how a new, capitalistic system was implemented into the hearts and minds of the former citizens of the GDR: with great force and speed.

    Free-floating years full of unknown dangers, in which these Children of the Change learnt to hide and adapt. In a deep analysis of what it means to create history, they reclaim their voices: word by word. In the process, they offer us mindfulness-lessons for modern life & show us how dealing with sudden shifts in ideology & power can support every millennial in the changes that lie ahead.

    Part 2 of 2.
