Henrike Iglesias & Miss Theatre – Sophiensæle | Freies Theater in Berlin

Henrike Iglesias is a theater collective based in Berlin and Basel and has been working together since 2012. Henrike’s permanent crew includes Leo G. Alonso, Malu Peeters, Marielle Schavan and Sophia Schroth. Together and in smaller constellations, as well as with various collaborators they do performance theater, installations, parties and much more, if you ask. They understand pop cultural and mass media phenomena as a mirror of social conditions and grievances and have made it their aim to illuminate them from feminist perspectives. They like to use technology in narrative, interactive and poetic ways and to explore how it is influencing our daily lives together at this moment in time.
