6 artists × 11 minutes = Studio 66!
To kick off the new season, Neuköllner Oper invites six solo artists and collectives who will appear in various productions during the 2025/26 season to present 11-minute miniature performances. These pieces offer insight into their artistic approaches – and a preview of what’s to come in the upcoming season.
And not alone, but together: For one week, the artists spend time together at the Neuköllner Oper, developing their performances, supporting one another, engaging in spontaneous collaborations, and forming artistic links across disciplines and styles. The model for these etude-like creations is the Short Form Epics by the Centre for the Less Good Idea in Johannesburg. Founded by Bronwyn Lace and William Kentridge, the Centre has been exploring and experimenting with new artistic formats and practices alongside local artists since 2015.
Featured guest artists at Neuköllner Oper include South African composer, choreographer, performer Nhlanhla Mahlangu (Centre for the Less Good Idea); Scottish composer and performer Genevieve Murphy; the Dutch performance collective Club Gewalt; Berlin-based performer and singer Anthony Hüseyin; performer and musician Mara Snip; Stage director and Performer der Cora Frost, Theatre- and Jazz musician Paul-Jakob Dinkelacker and Jazzpianist/Improviser Niko Meinhold.
In English and German.
