With her exuberant and colourful performances, the much-discussed German director Susanne Kennedy has cemented her position in the European theatre landscape. Somewhere between visual art and theatre, she creates a sensitive world in which characters resemble puppets, faceless cyborgs. Since 2017, incidentally the year in which she won the European Theatre Prize, Kennedy has been one of the in-house artists at the Volksbühne in Berlin. For Jessica - an incarnation she collaborates with her partner, the visual artist Markus Selg. We are standing at a turning-point in history. She is pinning her hopes on the future. If this is a period of darkness and disruption, with Jessica - an incarnation Kennedy and Selg are already looking forward to a new dawn. They delve into the labyrinthine depths of human consciousness to save us from anaesthesia. Jessica - an incarnationdepicts a future world in which it is possible to live according to new and different rules. What is mankind? As Kennedy herself so poignantly describes it, she hopes that her personal quest translates into a new collective quest.
