In the 20th century there were ideological and warlike conflicts between West and East Europe resulting in the death of millions of people.

KJDT forced the cooperation between Central and East European artists as an interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue in a one and a half years process.

In 2008 the group worked on the subject in "The age of counter-revolution", starting with the "Wolokolamsker Chaussee I-V", which was written between 1984 and 1987 by Heiner Müller.

Wolokolamsk is situated about 120 kilometres in the North-West of Moscow. At this place the German Fascist army was stopped by the Soviet Army in 1941. After research in the Heiner Müller Archive / Transitroom Berlin theatrical interventions with artists from Eastern Europe followed in 2010 in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Austria. The group followed the traces of the Second World War. The final performance in Eastern Europe took place in project_fabrika in Moscow. In 2011 KJDT invited artists from Eastern Europe for several performances.
