Corinne Maier:
Like a Prayer
Performance
Auf Deutsch - in German

Why do we believe what we believe and how did that even come about? What does a life look like in which faith plays the main role? Like a Prayer poses probably the most frequently asked question about faith and seeks these answers in personal encounters. After a period of research in the St. Josef monastery deep in inner Switzerland, the two performers confront each other with their experiences gained in the monastery and their own differing perspectives on faith.

She worked as a dramaturg, is co-founder of the theater collective magic garden, and first appeared on stage herself in lecture performances. In 2012, she began directing and has since staged Past Is Present (2013) and Like A Prayer (2015), among others, with which she has toured to festivals in Europe and India. In 2017 she developed Children of Tomorrow together with the author Tina Müller for the Munich Volkstheater. In 2018 she created The end of the world as we know it, which was shown at the Festival Politik im freien Theater in Munich, among others, and in 2019 BUNKERN at the Luzerner Theater. Extensive expeditions and research are at the beginning of her often documentary theater works.
