Information
Virginia Woolf Writer, thinker, fighter against inner abysses. In novels
such as Mrs. Dalloway or To the Lighthouse, she allowed time and consciousness
to flow into one another. In A Room of One’s Own (1929), she raised her voice to a
manifesto of female writing.
As “Mary Beton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael – or call me what
you like, it doesn’t matter”, she tells in short episodes of structural inequality, of
the fictional sister of William Shakespeare, Judith, of men who have a lot to say about
women and women who have tried to find a new voice of their own at
. Above all, she puts one thought first: “A woman must have money and a
space of her own if she wants to write.” Based on this famous sentence by Virginia
Woolf, this collaboration between theater quadrat and zweite liga für kunst und kultur
develops an evening of theater that interweaves text and body, thought and action. …
Between lecture and performance, voice and body, a space is created that poses Woolf’s
central question anew: Who is allowed to speak, who is heard – and under what
conditions is art created?
A joint search for “one’s own space” – then as now.
