at the theatre festival Hango Teaterträff
In times of a pandemic, going to the theatre becomes a distant memory that slowly fades away. She She Pop are unable to show Canon in front of an audience. Such an uncontrolled means of transmission from an individual body to the euphoric collective of all those present is a highly questionable act at the moment. But they do vow to carry the torch on. In fragmentary accounts, they will conjure up unforgettable stage moments from memory and narrate a canon – evening for evening anew, together with their audience.
To do this, She She Pop are switching to a medium just as transient as theatre, albeit not as public and thankfully less infectious, at least in these times: individual telephone conversations. Phone tree, helpline or hotline: Telephone-Canon isn’t a show, it’s a service. Whoever calls up will get one of the cast of Canon on the phone and hear about an essential moment in the performing arts. But the list is also open for your own tales and entries into the canon.
How do I participate in Kanon Remote?
- Choose your preferred language.
- Wait for the right time. The hotline is active at 5:30-19pm and 8-9:30pm.
- Dial one of the numbers (will be online here and on the webpage of Hangö Teaterträff on the festival day). Reach (with a little luck) a team member. (You yourself remain anonymous.)
- Let yourself be told about a special theatre or performance moment.
- If you like, report such a memory yourself. Loose fragments and single images from one evening are enough.
- The performances mentioned in the narrated memories will be noted down in a list and published on Hangö Teaterträff’s website - the list will be updated throughout the evening!
- Almost everything that is not recounted will be forgotten.

SHE SHE POP
She She Pop is a performance collective that was founded in the 90s, and its members are Sebastian Bark, Johanna Freiburg, Fanni Halmburger, Lisa Lucassen, Mieke Matzke, Ilia Papatheodorou, Berit Stumpf and Elke Weber, their creative producer. The members of the group are predominantly women and they work as a collective. The performers see themselves as authors, dramaturges and practitioners of their stage art. The inclusion of their own autobiographies is above all the method and not the purpose of their work. She She Pop celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2018. The HAU Hebbel am Ufer theatre has been a continuous co-producer and cooperation partner in Berlin since 2003.
