NORA is a piece about strength and vulnerability, fear and courage, doubt and decision. Director Anna-Katharina Andrees brings together six artists to make inner worlds of experience visible to the audience in an episodic collage. Through circus, dance, and theatre, and accompanied by a live original soundtrack, the inner conflicts of the protagonists come to life and become relatable on stage.

About the Company
The 7 Women Company is a contemporary circus company based in Berlin that explores the intersection of theatre and circus under the direction of Anna-Katharina Andrees. In 2020, Anna-Katharina brought together professional female artists from various circus disciplines and a musician, inviting them to explore inner processes both on stage and in the creation of their own piece. Each artist contributes their unique expertise and life experience to the project. Respect, trust, freedom of judgment, and mindful acceptance are fundamental principles in our work, which aims to create a space for resonance and identification for both the audience and the performers. Anna-Katharina Andrees is a long-time practitioner of the Michael Chekhov Acting Method and a circus creator. She has extensive experience in the fields of inclusion and diversity, which she integrates into her work.
About the Location

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 built to be 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.
