Battleship Little Red Riding Hood & Gabriele Stötzer: "My disgust is action"

The focus is on artists such as Gabriele Stötzer, Else Gabriel, Yana Milev and Gundula Schulze Eldowy, who worked against standardized socialist realism with "disgusting" materials, body images and offbeat themes.


In a walk-in performance spectacle, House 22 on the site of the former Stasi headquarters - once a place of control - becomes a stage:

performances, re-enactments and scenic installations open up historical and contemporary perspectives on the body, norms, resistance and memory on two floors.


A special feature of the program is the live performance by Gabriele Stötzer and her team, who will present a reenactment of one of their actions from the GDR era.


The event sees itself as a reclaiming of a place of fear, as an empowering overwriting through art - and as an invitation to rethink disgust as an artistic means of expression and signature.


Additional program:

From 18:30-19:30, the Stasi Records Archive is offering a guided tour of the former Stasi headquarters prior to the performance.

Registration is possible at einblick-ins-geheime@bundesarchiv.de or 030 18 665-6699
