A Woman in Berlin 1945

by Magda Pohl (Tom Corradini Teatro)

Berlin, April 1945. As the Red Army storms the city in WWII's largest urban battle since Stalingrad, a young woman finds herself trapped in the wreckage of a collapsing society. Her testimony reveals the largely silenced story of the mass violence inflicted on German women in the final weeks of the war. Performed by Magda Pohl, this solo physical theatre piece weaves movement, Indian rhythm and dance into a formally bold, emotionally unflinching portrait of survival, dignity and historical memory.
