performer & cinematographer
  •  SYNOPSIS
    Susana AbdulMajid, Zarah Kofler and Greta Markurt are developing a performance blending text, film and voice. 

    The starting point is AbdulMajid’s recent work on rivers, urban spaces and collective memory.

    The film works are derived from the texts and depict bodies in motion between landscape and structure. In the live performance, these motifs are continued as voice and presence within the space.

    An evening exploring water as a counter-archive to the city and the question of how history is inscribed in the body.

2HARD2HANDLE



.

dance theatre
video artist
directed by Jonas Pfeifer
at Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz
  •  SYNOPSIS
    In a glass villa where there are no secrets, every gesture becomes a performance. Seven people live under constant observation, suspended between intimacy and withdrawal, desire and self-staging.

    What remains unspoken is continually overheard.

    It is 2026, and time is running out.

    But who is it that keeps running alongside us without pause? And when will the interruption come that finally brings us back into our own lives?

    2HARD2HANDLE explores interpersonal relationships within an unstable reality and opens up a space in which seeing and being seen are renegotiated.

BE MY GUEST - 돼라 내 손님이 - SEI MEIN GAST



.

film-performance hybrid
cinematographer 
directed by 박종빈 Park Jongbin & 박재평 Park Jae-Pyung 
premiere at Seoul Marginal Theatre Festival 서울변방연극제 2025 
  •  SYNOPSIS 
    “Be My Guest 돼라 내 손님이 Sei Mein Gast”
    is a performance that uses filmmaking as its foundation to question the hierarchy embedded in the relationship between host and guest. The work takes place on an actual film set and uses errors that occur during the shooting process as a medium to explore the boundaries between social norms and exclusion.

    The piece reconstructs the presence of the “unwelcome guest,” who appears to be welcomed on the surface but is ultimately pushed aside and rejected. This dynamic reflects how migrants and minorities are often regarded as a kind of “error” within social systems. Inspired by the concept of KopFino (Head Cinema), the work uses cinematic techniques such as cuts, retakes, and shifts in perspective. Unexpected errors that emerge during filming, along with repeated acts of correction, form a structure that reveals how social norms define errors and how those definitions shape the exclusion or inclusion of marginalized people.

    The 2024 presentation in Berlin focused on the perspectives of Asian migrant women, while the 2025 presentation in Seoul expanded the viewpoint through the voices of multinational protagonists, reconsidering the meaning of migration and the structural contradictions within social systems.

    After completing the performances in both cities, the project is now in the film editing stage.

THE HUNGER


Trailer

.

theatre
live camera operator  
directed by Constanza Macras
at Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz  
  •  SYNOPSIS       
    The Hunger
    is an exploration of the phenomenon of excess inspired by historical events fictionalised in the novel The Witness by Argentinian writer Juan José Saer. The Hunger follows the European colonisers‘ trails in the Rio de la Plata region in South America at the beginning of the 16th century. A group of indigenes attacks Spanish colonisers in the north of present-day Argentina. Only one person survives and becomes part of the Colastiné tribal community. After he gets freed by fellow Spaniards later on, he reflects and remembers his perceptions during the time he spent with the tribe.

    In The Hunger, cannibalistic rituals overlap with different forms of greed, from colonialism and consumption frenzy in today’s capitalist societies to the hyperproduction of an endless Now on social media. Cyclically recurring, collective rituals are used to establish a (feeble) sense of reality, a kind of „normality“ following their own social rules and conventions. The „transformation of taboo into totem“ finds an echo in new forms of shifting boundaries, while our own privacy is swallowed up by the representational logics of the digital world.

    Does reality only exist if you’re observing it?

  • LAVORI IN CORSO!



.

theatre
live camera operator
directed by Jan Koslowski
at Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz 
  •  SYNOPSIS 
         
    Threesomes can be treacherous, but attenzione! – in these woodlands, things are different than usual. Here it’s when two people quarrel, the third joins in. Then there are three faces as long as three fiddles, and the triad are protecting themselves and one another thrice more against prey and predators. A place overlooking pines and cypresses is an ideal basis for practicing triangulation, and when bread has run out, one can always offer to share their cannoli.

    Sharing is an affair of the heart for this trio, spilt screen mode and sharing wi-fi passwords included. All for one and one for everything! But sharing without conquering first, does that make any sense at all? Do all fences have the same meaning? And what unknown territory will lie on the other side?

    Director and author Jan Koslowski and dramaturg and author Marlene Kolatschny have been friends and collaborators for a very long time. Following Vacances du moi! (2019) and the film Brigitte Reimann besteigt den Mont Ventoux! (2021), they are set to explore the garden paths leading to property, redistribution, solidarity and the question: for whom and for what are we fighting our battles?

  • I FLY ON YOU!



.

theatre / opera
live camera operator
directed by Jan Koslowski
at Deutsche Oper
  •  SYNOPSIS 
         
    THE FLYING DUTCHMAN is Richard Wagner's shortest opera, and accordingly there is much that does not appear in the piece: stories, songs, music, dances, texts. Author and director Jan Koslowski has set himself the task of bringing all this to the stage. He has invited numerous artists from genres beyond the world of opera to join singers and musicians from the Deutsche Oper ensembles in taking a close look at Wagner's most popular opera, adapting material from it, questioning it critically, drawing inspiration from it and continuing to write from a contemporary perspective.

  •  SYNOPSIS 
         
    We should take her hands down now, away from her face, and place them, folded, on her belly, shouldn’t we?
    We’ve tried, but it’s impossible, because rigor mortis has already developed.
    She’s buried her face in her hands because she was crying.
    Why, no! She was laughing. She just couldn’t stop laughing.
    Or maybe it was because it was too bright around her? She wanted to protect her eyes from the brightness. With her hands.
    Perhaps she’s hiding something beneath them.
    I would like to look at her face one more time.
    Yes, so would I. Maybe it isn’t her after all?
    Of course it is her. It’s Cleo.
