Wiegenlieder! is an open air dance performance about motherhood and care work from a queer feminist perspective, inspired by Brecht’s Wiegenlieder einer proletarischen Mutter, or Lullabies of a Working Mother (1932): these are songs for going to sleep that are also intended to shake things up. Upon a breathing landscape made up of air mattresses and melodicas as the living lungs of the piece, the performers dance and work with a choir of care workers somewhere between lulling and revolution, resistance and capitulation.
A Physical Reflection on "Wiegenlieder!" will be held on June 3. The play length is currently 70 minutes (formerly 60 minutes).
Accessibility
The play is in German spoken language. There is no break. There are 4 beanbag seats and wheelchair seats as needed. We recommend reserving these in advance via email to wiegenliederclaude@gmail.com as seating is limited. If certain seats are needed and you want to have a look at the audience situation in peace, we invite you to be there already 20 minutes before the performance. It is possible to reserve seats and settle in already then. There is no checkroom. There is a play corner for children near the audience.
