Enrico Bordieri, Marina Erler and Ana Me Zentgraf

Ana Me Zentgraf (* in Thueringen) is a Vietnamese-German artist. She studied art history and media and communication sciences in Berlin and Leipzig as well as a master's degree in dramaturgy at the Leipzig University of Music and Theatre. Her practice combines artistic work with anti-discrimination strategies and questions of accessibility and participation. Since 2019, she has been working in independent productions in the fields of directing, dramaturgy, stage and costume design. Her theatre text Für Papa premiered at the Ost-Passage Theater Leipzig in 2023. In addition to her conceptual-dramaturgical work, Ana Zentgraf is also active as a performer.

Marina Erler is an independent theatre maker, theatre educator and director from Leipzig. Marina Erler is part of the board of Ost-Passage Theater and a member of several collectives and often deals artistically with the dialogue between sound, aesthetic displacement and movement. Together with Anna Zentgraf, Marina Erler conceives and presents the radio programme #kulturrelevant at the independent Leipzig radio station Radio Blau. 

Enrico Bordieri studied Romance studies and philosophy in Rome, Edinburgh and Berlin, as well as dramaturgy at the HMT Leipzig. His practice focuses on play development and performance research and the writing of cross-genre texts. His research often focuses on social and linguistic injustice, migration heritage, rituals and forms of collective resistance. Enrico Bordieri worked in the research group ‘FOR 2305 - Diskursivierungen von Neuem’ at the Free University of Berlin and at various theatres, including the Maxim Gorki Theatre and the Thalia Theatre Hamburg.

Projects

Xanten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
