In this workshop, internationally acclaimed director Marta Górnicka opens her rehearsal room and shares her unique working method at the intersection of voice, body, language, and politics.

With her choral theatre, Marta Górnicka has found a very unique, powerful theatrical language and at the same time a form on how to express and deal with violence and unbearable realities on stage.

Her art form makes it possible to negotiate things for which we lack language and psychological tools.

In her new production "MOTHERS - a song for wartime", a must-see at this year's ILT Festival, she creates a chorus form in which Ukrainian women can also talk about sexual violence in the current full scale war of Russia on Ukraine, giving them a voice.

In this masterclass Marta Górnicka shares her working practice with the audience and shows how complicated dream work and the overcoming of unreconciled political conflicts can be made conceivable by means of art.

How can we work on a fringe of language and voice? What way to build a meeting place of different languages, discourses and voices today? We will look for a place where we are able to find the transformative power of the CHORUS.

Presented in close collaboration between the Danish National School of Performing Arts, ILT Festival, and ILT Academy.
