Susanne Kennedy (JUXTAPOSITIONS)

Susanne Kennedy studied directing at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Amsterdam. As a young director she worked in the Netherlands and Belgium. Since 2014 she works mainly in Germany. In 2017 she received the XIV Europen Prize Theatrical Realities. In recent years, she has been based at Volksbühne Berlin and Münchner Kammerspiele and created “ULTRAWORLD”, “COMING SOCIETY and the upcoming “JESSICA” together with the visual artist Markus Selg. Distorted by masks, playback dialogue, doppelgängers and multimedia, the actors confront the audience with the question: what does it mean to be human? In the winter semester 2021 / 22, the Studium Generale organized a series of hybrid lectures on the topic of contemporary cultural production at the University of the Arts Berlin. Curated and moderated by Guest Professor Lukas Feireiss, JUXTAPOSITIONS aims at a broad cross-disciplinary audience. Production and realization: Lukas Feireiss (Guest Professor), Flóra Tálasi (Coordination), Katrin Wendel (Administration), Leon Vatter (Research Assistant), Filipe Pirl (Student Assistant) For reasons of privacy and data protection all images of the students are cut out of the public videos.
