This production marks the third collaboration between Kinescope Film and artists from the Worpswede artistic community.Modersohn-Becker, a key figure in early Expressionism, challenged societal norms and artistic conventions, and this stage adaptation aims to explore her complex life and lasting legacy. The play offers audiences a deeper understanding of a woman who defied expectations and paved the way for future generations of female artists.
