bambule.babys
is a German performance collective, founded by
Anna Valeska Pohl
and
Michael Pöpperl.
"A breeding place for unruly femininity and queer otherness",
bambule.babys
is committed to producing transgressive performance and film works.
bambule.babys's
protagonists are the underdogs of society. According to artistic director Anna Valeska Pohl the works can be considered “experimental portrayals of social outcasts and their socio-politicial reality."
bambule.babys
was born out of a DIY-spirit in 2014, in Regensburg, Bavaria / Germany. In 2018
early iterations of
my home is not my home
– a performance soap opera featuring Madonna & Jesus as trash prophets – were labeled 'too controversial' in
bambule.babys' hometown and caused an art scandal, which led to
bambule.babys' cancellation. In the same year
Baby Paradise, the first part of the
Baby Paradise Trilogy, was called a "must see show" by
The Guardian (Observer).
Since then
bambule.babys' work has been presented at various venues in Berlin and at international festivals, such as International Venice Performance Art Week, IT; Edinburgh Festival Fringe, UK; Performance Crossings Prague, CZ; Deep Cut Film Festival, CAN; Los Angeles Underground Film Forum, USA, Blow Up Arthouse Film Festival Chicago, USA, Re:Frame Debut Film Festival Vienna, Austria.
bambule.babys is currently based in Berlin.
