Marie Popall is a performer and theatre maker from Berlin. She is based in Zürich, Switzerland. From 2012 to 2017, Marie studied at the Bern University of the Arts in the Bachelor Theatre and Master of Expanded Theatre. Afterwards, she joined the acting ensemble of Konzert Theater Bern and began creating her performative work. In her practice, which oscillates between dance, theatre and performance, she explores the political in the imaginary and examines the relationship between power, violence and tenderness. Marie is drawn to transdisciplinary collaborations, most recently with writer and DJ Saskia Winkelmann, with whom she created her latest work “Hundsköpfige” (Dog-headed), co-produced by Fabriktheater Rote Fabrik Zürich, Dampfzentrale Bern, and with support from Roxy Theater Birsfelden. She is currently working on adaptations of the piece for music and exhibition formats.
