bambule.babys is a Berlin-based collective for feminist, transgressive and multidisciplinary performance
— founded by
Anna Valeska Pohl
and
Michael Pöpperl.
Born out of a DIY spirit in Bavaria, raised in the bathrooms and basements of Berlin.
We tell stories of outsiders, resistance and transformation.
Our work emerges from long‑term investigations and a research approach that spans across different artistic media and feminist‑philosophical critique. We deliberately resist the contemporary‑art pressure to churn out constant new productions, preferring deep, process‑driven projects that often evolve over years.
Our work has been called provocative, challenging, and intense — from an art scandal in Bavaria in 2018 to a ★★★★★ Guardian review for Baby Paradise.
In Berlin we have presented works at venues like Ackerstadtpalast, Pandora Gallery, Raum für drastische Maßnahmen & more.
We’ve toured internationally - Edinburgh Fringe, Venice Performance Art Week, Arthouse Filmfestival Chicago & more -, won awards for our films, and our artistic director, Anna, was named an “artist to watch” by Bayerischer Rundfunk.
Essential works:
Baby Paradise Trilogy(2018-Now): Baby Paradise (2018), Baby Paradise TV (2021), Sister Games (2025) -
my home is not my home (since 2018) - MUTANTENGESCHLECHT (2014)
