Enad Marouf: What Returns Unclaimed: Love, Loss and Memory of resistance – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin

Enad Marouf:
What Returns Unclaimed: Love, Loss and Memory of resistance

Enad Marouf is part of the Sophiensæle Artistic Adivisory Board. Since the 2024/25 season Sophiensæle has an artistic advisory board at its side. It is important for Sophiensæle to sustainably integrate the perspectives of artists into our structures in order to further develop the artistic vision of the space in a mutual exchange, to review production conditions for artists and to strengthen the cultural-political situation of the Sophiensæle. Four artists with different focuses and practices are appointed for two years at a time. The members for the years 2024-2026 are Simone Dede Ayivi, Isabel Lewis, Enad Marouf and Hendrik Quast, who will each host an artistic exchange format. Simone Dede Ayivi’s Schwarze Kantine took place February 28th, 2025 in the Kantine. Sip & Speak by Isabel Lewis, together with Djibril Sall, was performed on April 19th, 2025, in Hochzeitssaal. And Hendrik Quast’s & Alex Hennig’s Clownklassentreffen took place on December 20, 2025.
