Original Sin by Susanne Sachsse & Xiu Xiu

It's a true story. It's her story. The story of her conflicted admiration and disdain for Luise Brand, her grandmother. The East German government built an anti-fascist protective wall around Berlin Luise Brand conceived and constructed a majestic private house in a small village in Thüringen where she lived with her older husband, her younger lover, two dogs and two daughters. Übermasstedt. Her walls were twice as thick as the Berlin wall. That wall is gone. Luise Brand is dead. GDR socialism failed. The house is reborn bad. Übermasstedt.It's alive and it’s not pretty. If she had known that that same house would become a petty bourgeois prison she would explode The walls. The house. The refrigerator with crushed ice dispenser. I really did love her
She was some kind of a woman... What does ist matter what you say about people. She was a woman from the GDR.

Music by Xiu Xiu and lyrics by Susanne Sachsse, with Vaginal Davis, Susanne Sachsse, Angela Seo, Marc Siegel und Jamie Stewart
