Poetry, Electro, Baroque! Celebrated across cinema, television, and theatre, actress and classically trained musician Anke Retzlaff once again carves her way through the thicket of audience voices after her rapid-fire dream performance Dream Machine (2021). The theme? The most primal of all experiences that unites us all: birth – the most intensely intimate and at the same time socially monitored moment of life.
The pregnant body becomes a dance floor for doctors, for the pharmaceutical, food, and advertising industries. With viol, lute, and synthesizers, Anke Retzlaff, Peter Florian Berndt, and Dominik Tremel plunge into the fray with texts by Kathrin Liess. Come and be born!
