Context: Dropping Knowledge.org (dk), an international non-profit organization based primarily in Germany ( In the U.S., dk is a project of the Tides Center ), gathers 112 thinkers, artists, writers, scientists, social entrepreneurs, philosophers and humanitarians from around the world on September 9th, 2006 in Berlin to answer 100 questions in an experimental forum. Set upon an historically loaded stage, Dropping Knowledge has constructed the world’s largest (non-governmental) roundtable at Bebelplatz in Berlin Mitte (the central district). Less than half a kilometer from the Brandenburg Gate which only 17 years ago was the dividing line between East and West Germany and the east and west political “operating systems” following WW II, this square, lying between the State Opera house and the Humboldt University, is the infamous location where books were burned during the most reported, documented and referenced fascist regime of modern times.

This Terry Gilliam! production of the Quay’s 2nd feature turns our mechanisms a few more notches counterclockwise to dreamward unravellings.
