Rodrigo Zorzanelli performs, writes and produces in the Berlin independent theater and performance scene. Rodrigo’s work deals with non-binarity, feminist autofiction, invisible structures, bureaucracy and belonging.

They is currently working on the solo “multiple memberships” during a three-week residency at HELLERAU. In the solo with Polaroid camera, Rodrigo stages performative self-portraits based on personal experiences of naturalization and coming out as non-binary.

The Open Studio invites you to see part of Rodrigo’s work-in-progress. Afterwards, there will be a discussion between everyone present about the sense of belonging, bureaucratic procedures and disguise/deception strategies. To what extent do these topics of Rodrigos work speak to you as BIPoCs in Germany? 

The event is aimed exclusively at people who position themselves as BIPoC. BIPoC is an abbreviation for Black, Indigenous and People of Color, i.e. people who are affected by racism or anti-Semitism.
