Christoph Winkler: Rechtsradikal – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Christoph Winkler:
Rechtsradikal
Rechtsradikal
Recent developments in the Zwickau terror cell story have shown that in the right-wing movement it is not only men who are radicalizing: today every-fifth Neo-Nazi is a female, every tenth radical right-wing criminal offence is committed by a woman. For a long time women were merely seen as the companion or ‘tag along’ of these men, however their significance in the radical right-wing movement is growing. RechtsRadikal examines the internal and external conflicts of these women, especially since they are confronted with traditional gender roles within the scene. Together with four young female dancers, Christoph Winkler searches for an expression of the radical bodily drama right-winged women find themselves in.
