Yael Ronen & Irina Szodruch: Collective Biographical Time Machine – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Yael Ronen & Irina Szodruch:
Collective Biographical Time Machine
Collective Biographical Time Machine
The workshop will explore the tension and the possibilities between one's unique biography and a collective story. How our private dramas come in resonance with the zeitgeist. How personal memories and historical remembrance can differ or seem interwoven. How an individual life is entangled with national identities. And how this encounter opens up authentic and post-authentic ways of storytelling for the stage. We will examine and stretch the theater’s boundaries of truth and fiction.
The workshop is a self-inquiry and it is open for anyone who is not afraid to show themselves. We will explore private stories, historical memories, improvisations, exercises of the therapeutic and the spiritual realm. It will be practical and personal.
