A Talk, a Window and Sound
Clare Molloy & Susanne Sachsse
Saturday, 08.02.2025, 4 PM
In cooperation with Club der Polnischen Versager
As the second event with contemporary witnesses in the program sequence DIFFRACTIONS—Collecting & Un/Learning, curator Clare Molloy and artist and performer Susanne Sachsse invite you to come together at a location in the neighborhood of Kunst Raum Mitte, the former Scheunenviertel. At the Club der Polnischen Versager in Ackerstraße, they interweave personal memories and musings on artistic practice.
A talk, a Window and Sound is a rare and intimate conversation that provides insights into Sachsse’s personal archive: into experiences of working in collectives and the way exhibitions have become an important focus of her artistic expression. Sachsse relocated to the capital during the 1980s, having graduated from the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts, and went on to work as an actress at the Berliner Ensemble, where she collaborated with renowned theatre makers such as Einar Schleef, Heiner Müller and Robert Wilson. In 2000, Sachsse left the Berliner Ensemble to focus exclusively on her own artistic practice, a decision that has yielded significant recognition and acclaim.
This retrospective will take place on a winter afternoon in Berlin-Mitte: Susanne Sachsse and curator Clare Molloy will fill the Club der polnischen Versager with memories while projecting images onto the windows. The conversation will trace Sachsse’s unique view of performance and theatre around the fall of the Berlin Wall, with a particular focus on influences from the Berlin underground scene on her current work.
Date:
08.02.2025, 4 p.m.

Venue: Club der Polnischen Versager e.V., Ackerstr. 168, 10115 Berlin
