Maria Klassenberg. Home Choreographies

Maria Klassenberg, a radical visual artist and performer, active since 1970s, held all of her performances at home. They were witnessed only by her friends and close ones, who were sworn to silence. In the spring of 2020, during the first lockdown resulting from COVID-19 pandemic, Katarzyna Kalwat together with a group of creators organizes an online performance based on the artist’s instructions and connected to her art created at home. Actors and actresses from TR Warszawa and Berlin Volksbuehne and dozens of other people from Poland and Germany recreated Maria Klassenberg’s performance streamed live on TR Warszawa an  Volksbühne Berlin Facebook pages,  in their own homes. The recording of this event will be used in the theatre play and an exhibition of Maria Klassenberg’s works that is in progress.

The performance goes on!
