A Woman in Berlin 1945 is a solo physical theatre piece performed by Magda Pohl, produced by Tom Corradini Teatro. Set in Berlin in April 1945, as the Red Army storms the city in the largest urban battle since Stalingrad, a young woman is trapped in the collapse of a society. Her testimony brings to light the largely silenced story of mass violence against German women in the final weeks of the war. The show weaves movement, Indian rhythm and dance into an emotionally unflinching portrait of survival, dignity and historical memory. Running 60 minutes at Studio; recommended for ages 16 and over. Contains scenes of sexual violence.
Why see this show?
A formally bold solo performance that confronts a largely unspoken chapter of wartime history with movement, rhythm and raw honesty. Challenging and necessary viewing for those ready to engage.
