Schwestern (Veronika Bökelmann und Moran Sanderovic)

Lecture Performance, Berlin-Premiere

The lecture performance Schwestern - (Sisters) explores the relationship of the performers to their sisters and their systems of belief: Moran’s sister decided to live in an ultra-orthodox settlement in the West Bank, and Veronika’s sister moved from a small town in Germany to India as a Hare Krishna devotee. Within a structured dialogue, the audience is introduced to
the partly absurd routines and daily lives of the ‘absent sisters’ by the performers, who create a maze of cultural choices, corporeal perceptions, and gender roles. How far are we from our sisters? How can we still relate to one another when religion creates literal walls?
