Premiere in Denmark.
The monologue ‘Katharina’s voices’ is spoken from the mouth of Katharina von Bora (1499-1552).
She was one of 12 nuns who fled from the monastery of Marienthorn in 1523. Later she married Martin Luther.
The play examines the religious persecution of lower upperclass women in Germany’s middle ages.
This corresponds to the repression of women today in religions.
Kattas Figurteater blends genre. Here classical music and text traditions meet burlesque humor and rituals.
