Presentation, workshop and reading of GRIPS Theatres show ”Kriegerin”

Marisa, a 20-year-old German girl, hates foreigners, Jews, cops, and everyone she finds guilty for the decline of her country. She provokes, drinks and fights. The only place she feels home is the Neo-Nazi gang she belongs to, where hate, violence, and heavy parties are the daily rules. When 14-year-old Svenja joins the group, Marisa appears like a role model to her: she fits the purest idea of a combat girl fighting for the group's ideology. But Marisa's convictions will slowly evolve when she accidentally meets a young Afghan refugee…

GRIPS Theatre has created an expressive performance based on the movie with the same name written by David Wnendt. In this workshop and reading the GRIPS Theatre presents its artistic work with the performance and their work with the political and cultural network ”My right is your right” realizing the human rights fully for everyone, citizen and non-citizen. Where do we find the border between making theatre and being an activist?

With support of the Goethe Institute in Stockholm

The seminar is a part of the project Shadowland, arranged by Swedish ASSITEJ and financially supported by Svenska Postkodstiftelsen.
