Wait to be seated
Indian premiere: December 2025, German premiere: Spring 2026.
Wait to be seated is an intercultural performance project by the collectives She She Pop from Berlin and Sandbox Collective from Bangalore, set to take place in both Germany and India. The participating artists aim to explore the concept of hospitality from postcolonial, feminist, and power-critical perspectives.
The groups alternate between the roles of hosts and guests. Wait to be seated highlights the ethical dimension of hospitality, which in many cultures involves an unconditional and radical openness toward the unfamiliar.
Everything Possible
The stage is empty and there is only one rule: everything that is about to happen here must be publicly announced in advance. Everything Possible is an improvised performance with extremely limited resources.
The new run in June 2025 at HAU Hebbel am Ufer Berlin has been supported by the Fonds Darstellende Künste.
Hexploitation
Hexpolitation explores society’s fear of the ‘hag’ – the old woman and witch. Naturally, She She Pop will be using their ageing bodies for this purpose: to fight against the invisibility and loss of status that women suffer in society when they are no longer of childbearing age. To this day, the term ‘witch’ is used to belittle or reduce women. The witch – an anarchic, heretical woman – stands for sexuality beyond reproduction and subversive behaviour towards power structures and authorities.
Workshop: Inventing and fulfilling
September 22 – 27, 2025The workshop deals with the task of the artist/performer on stage. When a self-chosen task is at the centre of a performance, what effect does it have? What is the difference to a play or a game? We will set each other tasks – less to evaluate the result than to find out what actually makes a good task for the stage. We will invent play arrangements, questioning techniques and regulated games. How can the performer’s task be developed into the central idea of a performance? What means of description and alienation are suitable for developing a substantive effect? How little is enough? In this course, we will deal with the conceptualisation of our own stage action in the form of a self-chosen task.

Bullshit
In Bullshit, She She Pop courageously confront the loss of a shared reality. They acknowledge that they know nothing, that even the poetic reality of the theatre space has been affected. So they try to leave the bubble of their perception to take on other proportions, to see other colors, to communicate like a bat with sonar, and to find themselves in absolute darkness. Embracing uncertainty, they dedicate themselves to unlearning and to imagining different ways of seeing. Can they succeed in creating a positive experience out of the chaos, in finding meaning in randomness, in creating sense in the confusion of possibilities – or, as a last resort, in declaring bankruptcy to be a comedy?
