Das moderne Mädel – Eine musikalische Erzählung über deutsche und polnische Frauen in der Zwischenkriegszeit

In the organizer's words:

Women in Poland and Germany experienced a profound change between the two world wars: they were given the right to vote, gained professional freedom and a new self-image emerged. Looking back, it is astonishing how similar the history of women on both sides of the border was.

For the first time, women were portrayed on stage and in film as self-determined, strong and sensual - no longer just in the shadow of men. 100 years later, The Modern Girlinvites us to rediscover this revolutionary time: Where are we today? What has remained - and what has been lost?

Marta Wryk, an internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano, imaginatively sings the unforgettable songs of that time, accompanied by the pianist and composer Tomasz Prasqual. The actress Margaux Kier tells of emancipation and upheaval. The project was created in collaboration with bestselling author Anna Kowalczyk.An evening full of history, music and surprising parallels to the present.

An event organized by the Polish Institute Düsseldorf as part of "Polish Freedom Weekend. Freedom is a woman"
