In this lecture, theatre maker Carolina Bianchi gives insights into the research for her new trilogy “Cadela Força”, the first part of which will be shown at HAU in fall 2023. It is about stories of rape and femicide over the past few decades. In parallel, she also looks at art history to connect layers of poetic violence with the brutality of reality. Thus, the artist contemplates the “endless hole that has been swallowing [women] for centuries”, uncovering narratives that have accumulated in repression and silence. She talks about “declaring war on a certain world of events that make me disrupted. And this war I declare is also violent. Because it comes from accumulated anger, anger seeking language. I wish I were like Emily Dickinson, a loaded rifle spitting the most lethal words in the direction of my enemy.”

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
