Remake Caligari
Remake Caligari - RambaZamba Theater
Premier 6th April 2024
Direction by Michael Geißelbrecht
At a fairground, the traveling showman Caligari exhibits the sleepwalker Cesare in his booth. After a prophecy from the briefly awakened Cesare, an eerie series of murders begins, and Jane, a young woman, is abducted from her bedroom at night. In free associations with the silent film, the performers wonder: Who is this Caligari? Who is the monster here: the sleepwalking Cesare or the manipulative Caligari? In an open process, the team examines power dynamics. It's an evening about the dreams of Cesare and Jane, about fear, the unfortunate combination of power and arbitrariness, and about a possible escape - an emancipation.
We would like to inform you that filming will take place during the performance, including the audience. These recordings will not be shown publicly outside of the performance.

This piece is a series of performances that will take place once a month during my last five months of pregnancy. It is a conversation, as well as an intimate way of looking at a process that can happen only a few times in a woman’s life, if at all. The process undertaken is the most instinctive way to create.

“Tú”
Let’s talk about what we couldn’t scream.

Violence against women in Spain remains a serious problem. Over a thousand women have been reported killed since statistics were first officially gathered in 2003. Last year, women reported almost 167,000 cases of domestic violence, while the courts issued more than 39,000 restraining orders.
13 years ago, what happened to me, It was part of what a women should accept as part of a relationship. Today, what happened is considered domestic violence. 13 years ago, nobody would have opened the door of the office for abuse. 13 years ago, what was considered “normal” took many holes.
“TÚ” is a small fragment of a body that survive, and all the words inside.

"Costuras" sets out to bring a sewn body out from the inside to share with the spectator and create an empathy towards it.
It is a journey into the internal feeling of being squeezed.
She always wore her old watch,
her hands were full of delicate wrinkles..... she sewed life...
this imprinted memory of her inside of me...
Piece develop in Motimaru Workshop and Theaterhaus Berlin Mitte.

Nietzsche said: No artist tolerates reality - but I do think that, through pain, the artist transforms reality, recreate it, turn it into art. Inspired through a personal tragedy, Sara Lu created a piece of delicate suffering and astonishing softness inside the pain. A dance piece developed through one year of personal research and rehearsals gave birth to Muletas, which in Spanish means „crutches“.
I move you...
Your broken nerves
Your paralyzed emptiness
Your immobility
Your fear of the leaves
In the end—move the inevitable
MULETAS is an embodiment of Sara’s personal relationship to Poliomyelitis. When it was wet outside and they would walk together her father would say “Sara, move the leaves for me”. She advanced, “of course papa, you won’t fall.”
