A production by Melanie Jame Wolf in coproduction with Sophiensæle in the frame of Tanztage Berlin 2015 with the kind support of Arts House Melbourne and Creative Victoria. The reprise is supported by the Wiederaufnahmeförderung of the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion. Media partners: Missy Magazine, Siegessäule, taz.

Melanie Jame Wolf makes artworks, performances, and texts about power, persona and the phenomenon of “show business”: the liminal, the persuasive, the deceptive, the staged, and the performed in the political, theatrical and everyday. Her work explores the vulnerability of the live moment and the body as an unruly political riddle. These investigations are expressed through shape-shifting and play with language in surprising and humorous ways.

Spaces that have presented her work include Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Kunstmuseum Basel – Gegenwart, KW – Institute of Contemporary Art, HAU – Hebbel am Ufer, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, nGbK, The National 2019: New Australian Art biennial, VAEFF – Film Festival NYC, Arts Santa Monica, Schwules Museum, Sophiensæle, Münchner Kammerspiele, Arts House Melbourne, Kasseler Dokfest, Bärenzwinger Berlin, SOPHIE TAPPEINER and Institute of Modern Art Brisbane. Wolf was one of 8 nominees for the 2022 Berlin Art Prize.
