NORA is a play about strength and vulnerability, fear and courage, doubt and decision. Director Anna-Katharina Andrees founded the Berlin-based 7 Women Company in 2020 and brings together six female artists to explore inner worlds of experience in an episodic collage and make them visible to the audience. Through circus, dance and theater, accompanied by a live original soundtrack, inner conflicts are brought to life and made comprehensible by the protagonists on stage.

About the Company
The 7 Women Company is a contemporary circus company from Berlin that explores the interface between theater and circus with director Anna-Katharina Andrees. In 2020, Anna-Katharina brought together professional female artists from different circus disciplines and a musician and invited them to explore inner processes on stage and in the development of their own piece. Each artist brings her individual expertise and life experience to the table. Respect, trust, freedom of judgment and mutual acceptance are important basic attitudes for us in our work, which strives to create a space for resonance and identification for the audience and the performers. Anna-Katharina Andrees is a long-time practitioner of the Michael Chekhov acting method and a circus performer. She has a great deal of experience in the field of inclusion and diversity and incorporates these aspects into her work.
About the Location
The Pfefferberg Theater is a multi-genre venue with a focus on drama, dance and contemporary circus and offers a diverse program that ranges from sophisticated entertainment to experimental performance art. It is a performance venue with its own program design and presentation venue for groups and solo artists in the performing arts. The Pfefferberg Theater is run by Christine Ritter and Florian Appl. The program is complemented by the reading series “Literatur Live” and the children's and family theater “Coq au vin”
With the predominantly visual and non-verbal formats, we keep the language barrier low. As part of the VIA Schankhalle Pfefferberg gGmbH, an inclusive company, we break down barriers. Our theater is also barrier-free. The presentation of inclusive ensembles is an important part of the program. Another guiding principle of the theater is to combine art and culture with social commitment.
