What’s to be done after the end of history? In an attempt to answer this question, director and performer Nicola Nord talked with former and future communists about what remains when you loose a utopia. She called the auto-mobile staging of the documents and material she collected archive for utopias, lost and found, which has performed in international festivals in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands see little red (room).
In little red (play): herstory will be told. In this theatre-production Nicola Nord&Co. will look from the interstellar perspective of the third millennium at the great political utopias and the ideologies of their enemies. Together with her collective andcompany&Co, she constructs a docu-tale of a past which could have been our future. The multi-material stage-animation of Flashkes and Noah Fischer creates a space in the here that gives voice to the experience which follows the silence after the failure of social alternatives. Perhaps this is the moment to imagine and tell new stories…

little red (play):herstory was the final project by Nicola Nord in DasArts and was shown at the Freischwimmer-Festival 2006 and afterwards invited among others to the Kunstenfestivaldesarts 07 (Brussels), SpielArt (München) and Wiener Festwochen. It is the first part of the ‘trilogy of re-union with the 20th century’.

little red (play):herstory won the price favoriten 08 by the NRW KULTURsekretariat on the festival favoriten 08 – theaterzwang. The price was 5000 EUR and also included support for guest-performances.

“little red (play): ‘herstory’ puts the last great utopias of the 20t century in such a perfectly shaped way on stage for which theatre-makers in big houses usually overdraw the budget for décor and costumes — and receive cheering reviews in the feuilletons (…) a remarkably intelligent, synaesthetic piece of utopia.”
