Yael Ronen & Irina Szodruch - Collective Biographical Time Machine

The workshop examines the tension between individual biographies and collective memory and the possibilities that arise in this interstice. How our private dramas reflect the zeitgeist. How private memory differs from historical commemoration, or how they are interwoven. How an individual life is linked to national identity. And how this clash enables authentic and post-authentic narratives and storytelling for the stage. We examine and transcend the theatrical boundaries of truth and fiction.

The workshop is a self-interrogation and suitable for anyone who is not afraid to show themselves in front of other workshop participants. We will explore private stories, historical memories, improvisations and exercises from the therapeutic and spiritual field. It will be practical and personal.
