I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SOMMERNACHTSTRAUM combines Shakespeare with slasher vibes. Dance becomes a hunt. Choral singing turns into rumor. Music becomes a racing pulse. A music theatre evening by NO Jung – somewhere between dance, scene, song, and collage. Funny, precise, unsettling. And perhaps a little too close for comfort. LANGUAGE German Next dates Fri […]

These murders represent the catastrophic, dehumanizing endpoint of psychological and physical violence against partners and ex-partners, daughters, and mothers within patriarchy. Femicide is carried out under the societal guise […]
