TRÜMMERFRAU
VENICE BIENNALE 2023
GERMAN PAVILLONDATES
INFO
The performance TRÜMMERFRAU was created in collaboration with the Venetian dance group II Posto, led by Wanda Moretti, who has been developing Danza Verticale since the 1990s – a dance style that moves vertically along walls, thereby treating Venice’s urban space as a stage.
The music includes compositions by Naumann’s longtime musical collaborator Bastian Hagedorn, as well as the song Ninna Nanna 1932 by the Italian singer Milva and the track Ich schau in dein Gesicht (composed by Benedikt Wojtas) by the punk band Telekoma from Frankfurt (Oder), in a cover version by Ben Bloodygrave.
The text of Ninna Nanna 1932 was originally written by Bertolt Brecht as part of his anti-fascist cycle Vier Wiegenlieder einer proletarischen Mutter (Four Lullabies of a Proletarian Mother). It addresses the fear for a child’s future in a hostile world against the backdrop of the rise of National Socialism in Germany.
