Overview

She Represents (the title of a 1928 watercolour by Jeanne Mammen) is a costumed Lieder recital exploring female expression and definition of self. Compositions by Rita Strohl, Kurt Weill, Cathy Berberian and others are augmented by costumes based on artworks by Mammen and Otto Dix. The final dress is created by renowned German-Chilean stage and costume designer Rebekka Dornhege Reyes. The recital centres on the ‘New Woman’ – a feminist ideal and icon of changing gender norms that arose late in the 19th Century and had far-reaching influence well into the 20th.
