WENDEMÖGLICHKEIT - TURNING POINT

The play addresses peer pressure among men and sexual boundary violations, focusing specifically on an allegation of rape and the toxic forms of male loyalty that can silence victims and protect harmful behaviour.

As Forum Theatre, the audience is invited to reflect collectively on what they have witnessed and to explore possible ways of interacting with and transforming the situation.

What is the price of your silence?

What do we choose to keep silent?
What happens when silence becomes complicity?
And what does it take to break it?

Through Silence is Sexy, Pandeforium invites us to question why we remain silent in the face of injustice, who benefits from our silence, and what it costs us, both individually and collectively.

Through Forum Theatre, the audience is invited to step into the action, challenge the choices made on stage, and explore collective strategies to change the story strategies that can go beyond the walls of the theatre and be put into practice in our everyday lives.

Will you stay silent, or will you change the story?

Reserve your tickets through the link in our bio and choose your date: 23 or 24 October.

Seats are limited * book yours now!

Den Start der Initiative haben Menschen in ungefähr einem Dutzend EU-Ländern mit unterschiedlichen Aktionen gefeiert. In Irland, in Polen, Österreich und Frankreich. In Spanien und den Niederlanden ist die Bewegung besonders stark. Und auch in Deutschland geht so einiges.

Alle knüpfen wir das weiter, was Generationen vor uns in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit und Gerechtigkeit auf den Weg gebracht haben. Was Menschen in allen Teilen der Welt erstritten und verteidigt haben. Manchmal sogar mit ihrem Leben bezahlt. Ob im Namen der Rechte der Natur oder unter einem anderen Namen.

Die Bürgerinitiative gibt uns nun ein Momentum, das weiter zu drehen, tiefer zu verankern und in die Herzen der Menschen sowie in die Gesetzestexte unserer Systeme einzuschreiben.

Denn es geht um weit mehr als Paragraphen und Unterschriften. Es geht um einen Bewusstseinswandel und darum, zu verstehen, dass wir selbst Natur sind.

Wir haben nun ein Jahr, um eine Million Unterschriften zusammen zu tragen. Mach mit.

15th October is the Day of Teatro de las Oprimidas
Join Madalena-Berlin on October 17 to celebrate in the way we know best: through Forum Theatre. We’ll present SCHMERZ IST NORMAL. Come celebrate with us! 🎭

Teatro de las Oprimidas emerged from the urgent need to create theatrical representations that do not blame oppressed people for the oppression they face, and that move beyond individualistic ways of staging conflict.

It is an aesthetic and political investigation that brings social structures into the performance and into dialogue with the audience.

Teatro de las Oprimidas promotes an aesthetic inquiry into injustices shaped by the intersections of gender, race and class. It examines how socialization and the construction of gender shape social roles, making visible the mechanisms of oppression that sustain patriarchy and exploring alternatives to transform this reality.

Teatro de las Oprimidas is a methodology with specific proposals for making theatre, open to everyone committed to overcoming patriarchy, making space for other ways of being, and building a project of social transformation that includes diverse subjectivities.

Above all, it opens up a way of thinking about Feminist Aesthetics.

@barbara.kuringa , a leading methodological reference for the Ma(g)dalena International Network, is an artist, writer, teacher and the artistic director of @kuringa_berlin and @madalena.berlin.

Her book Teatro de las Oprimidas traces the development of feminist aesthetics among artist-activists from diverse regions, nations and cultures, and presents the political history of the Network @redmagdalenasinternacional

Bárbara, today we celebrate your vision, your teaching and all the work you set in motion.

Thank you for all that you’ve given us and continue to give.

Long life to Teatro de las Oprimidas!

May keep moving us, finding strength, resistance and possibilities through Teatro de las Oprimidas.

Happy birthday, Bárbara! 🎂

What happens when women are in pain and no one believes them?

When their complaints are dismissed as exaggeration?

When prejudice determines whose pain is taken seriously and whose is ignored?

The Gender Pain Gap is not an individual problem. It reflects deeply rooted power structures in our society.

On October 17, Madalena Berlin brings this issue to the stage.

📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM

Join us to explore this topic and to celebrate the Day of Teatro de las Oprimidas

Wir bringen die Rechte der Natur in die EU. Sei dabei!

Wir wollen mehr Gerechtigkeit und mehr lebenswerte Zukünfte.

Am 13.10. gibt es in verschiedenen EU-Ländern Auftaktveranstaltungen zur Bürgerinitiative. In Deutschland ist sie in Berlin an der Spree. Mit Theatergruppe @kuringa_berlin

19.00 Oberbaumbrücke, Ecke Warschauer: Treffpunkt + Überraschung

20.30 Café Tante Emma: Gespräch, Getränke und vielleicht Musik zu den Rechten der Natur. Mit Eduardo Salazar, der mitgeholfen hat, das Mar Menor in Spanien zum ersten Ökosystem mit eigenen Rechten in Europa zu machen: @eduardo.salazar1976 + Überraschungsgäste (Köpenickerstraße 1)

In den nächsten 12 Monaten wird es weitere Veranstaltungen dazu geben. Organisiere gerne selbst eine Aktion, eine Lesung, ein Gespräch, ein Spektakel! Sammle Unterschriften, verbreite das Wissen und die Idee. Oder setze die Rechte der Natur gleich in der Wirklichkeit um: mit regenerativer Landwirtschaft, Renaturierung oder genossenschaftlich organisierter Energieversorgung.

Wie genau? Dazu hier bald mehr Infos. Oder mach, wie du denkst. Du bist ja selbst Natur.

🎬 Einblicke in die KURINGA-Ausbildung

Was passiert, wenn Menschen zusammenkommen, um Theater nicht nur zu spielen, sondern als Werkzeug für Veränderung zu nutzen?

In der KURINGA-Ausbildung wurde genau das erlebbar:

👉 kollektive Recherche

👉 künstlerische Praxis

👉 gemeinsames Lernen über Generationen hinweg

Im Forumtheater bleibt die Szene offen – und das Publikum wird Teil der Veränderung. ✊

💛 Ein Raum, in dem Fragen gestellt werden, Konflikte sichtbar werden und neue Wege entstehen.
