meine damen und herren: die stadt bin ich / 2020 / co-dramaturg, advisor
Kampnagel, Hamburg

The project called ‘Die Stadt bin ich’ (I am the city) is a radical participatory theatre utopia from the members of the inclusive theatre company Meine Damen und Herren, Hamburg. In the frame of a mini-festival seven plays had been presented in Kampnagel, from which Kotka supported the production of two performances: ‘Lissys Leben’ (Life of Lissy) by Josefine Großkinsky, a biographic narrative in a mono dance format, and ‘Kampf um die Liebe’ (Struggle for love) by Celina Scharff and Lina Strothmann, a bloody thriller.
