Machine to become - which Witch?

A PERFORMANCE EXPERIMENT

Premiere: 24th February 2023 at Acker Stadt Palast – Berlin
Further performances: 25th & 26th February 2023

The performance experiment Machine to become - which Witch? explores old and new witch powers in the play of word, sound and movement.

Why were people taught to fear witches and not those who burned them - or the power structures that legitimized repression and continue to this day? The witch recurs in feminist* interpretations as an archetype of powerful femininity* and repressed experiential knowledge, fueling activism and thwarting authority. How do old and new witch (forces) move? What needs to be (re)enchanted? What witch(es) does one find?

The performance experiment Machine to become explores complex concepts and shifts stereotypes using audience associations, stories, sound and movement. Following Machine to become-Woman, we invite you to Machine to become-Which Witch?"

Machine to become presents performance experiments that explore complex concepts and shift powerful stereotypes using audience assumptions, stories, sound, and movement.
