STORY KARAOKE BAR

The STORY KARAOKE BAR is a location-specific format in which guests speak the words and stories of other previously interviewed people from the neighborhood into a microphone and thus continue the story. In a group of strangers, the borrowed and shared narrative creates a connection that is quite something.

Sophia Maria Keßen works as a freelance theater maker in Berlin. She deals with the staging of collective processes of storytelling. One of her main concerns is the visualization of polyphonic opinions and perspectives on various topics, which she gains through interviews with people from the city. She explores biographical-documentary staging strategies, likes to involve karaoke, chance, drinks and dilettantism as artistic means and works scenically, interactively and installatively.
