She She Pop
Mauern
- Theatre
German /
approx. 100 min.
Ten years ago with their production “Schubladen” (“Drawers” ), members of She She Pop sat across from some of their East German contemporaries. “Drawers” explored the systemic conditions that forged their identities, showing two strong ideologies and opposing doctrines each with their inner logic.
As a mental extension of “Schubladen” , She She Pop has once again invited various guests for their new production, “Mauern” (“Walls”). Together, they travel through time to past moments and possible futures. The journey takes the audience along walls that permeate how we perceive shared reality and its emotional impact. She She Pop and guests sift through the rubble of documentary material and combine it with futuristic camera technology to turn the stage into a time capsule. In it, our heroines try to pull themselves out of the quagmire of their present and the baggage of their past lives to look at possible visions. In doing so, they try to form a community that surpasses linguistic or physical barriers, which are outside the range of solidarity or imagination or even brutally defined by visa requirements.
