Much has happened since the founding of the feminist performance collective She She Pop, both in terms of feminism and the development of post-dramatic theatre. Both belong together for the internationally renowned “women’s group of seven women and one man”. Working as a collective became a forward-looking model for this and still forms the prerequisite for constantly trying out new forms of cooperation and breaking down clichés. Shame, Shame, Shame! – where many look the other way, that’s where it gets interesting for She She Pop.

With an introductory essay by Annett Gröschner, an interview with She She Pop by Aenne Quiñones, conversations with long-time collaborators, numerous illustrations and an up-to-date catalogue raisonné.

The series Postdramatic Theatre in Portraits is dedicated to the development of a new theatre aesthetic since the 1990s. The history of actors of postdramatic theatre in the German-speaking world is told for the first time in the form of monographs. The editors of the series are Florian Malzacher, Aenne Quiñones and Kathrin Tiedemann.

Six women open their secret drawers. Three of them grew up in the former Federal Republic of Germany, three of them in the GDR. More than 20 years after the fall of the wall, they now decide it is time to get to know one another better. So they delve into autobiographical material: letters, diaries, their personal inner archives of images and music. She She Pop and their East German colleagues pledge themselves to polyphony, to collective narratives. Gaps, inaccuracies and missing links are part of the system. Who were we? Who are we? Why have we become this way?

She She Pop ask their fathers to the radio studio to once again argue about money, love, heritage, 100 knights and King Lear.
