Lola Arias — Archivo Madre

Argentinean, but since several years now transplanted in Berlin, Lola Arias is one of the most significant international figures of the documentary theatre. Active as a writer and theatre director, but also as a film director, she has received numerous prestigious awards for her work, which brings together people from different backgrounds in theatre, film, literature, music and visual art projects with the aim of investigating uncomfortable and often forgotten realities. Archivo Madre is a lecture-performance in which migrant women artists from different Latin American countries interrogate their archives on the theme of motherhood. Over a period of six months, women from Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Colombia created an intense performance as part of a collective work process that reflects the theme of motherhood in our time much more authentically than any staging.
The performance is divided into two parts, the first will be presented on Friday 1 September, the second on Saturday 2 September.
