about

"My art is poetry, punk, cyborg, resistance, Playboy, Greek tragedy, grotesque, abject, political. My art is not black and white, boring, nice to watch, good taste. Not a Daddyland, a white cube for your supremacist phantasies nor a ready-made object for your consumption. It is the deconstruction of overcome mythologies and narratives in order to uplift and to transform our bodies and identities. An utopian inferno, dedicated to the underdogs and bitches, lost girls and broken kids out there."
Anna Valeska Pohl, founder & director bambule.babys

 

bambule.babys is a German performance collective, founded by Anna Valeska Pohl and Michael Pöpperl. "A breeding place for unruly femininity and queer otherness", bambule.babys is committed to producing transgressive performance and film works. bambule.babys's protagonists are the underdogs of society. According to artistic director Anna Valeska Pohl the works can be considered “experimental portrayals of social outcasts and their socio-politicial reality."
bambule.babys was born out of a DIY-spirit in 2014, in Regensburg, Bavaria / Germany. In 2018 early iterations of my home is not my home – a performance soap opera featuring Madonna & Jesus as trash prophets – were labeled 'too controversial' in bambule.babys' hometown and caused an art scandal, which led to bambule.babys' cancellation. In the same year Baby Paradise, the first part of the Baby Paradise Trilogy, was called a "must see show" by The Guardian (Observer).
Since then
bambule.babys' work has been presented at various venues in Berlin and at international festivals, such as International Venice Performance Art Week, IT; Edinburgh Festival Fringe, UK; Performance Crossings Prague, CZ; Deep Cut Film Festival, CAN; Los Angeles Underground Film Forum, USA, Blow Up Arthouse Film Festival Chicago, USA, Re:Frame Debut Film Festival Vienna, Austria.

bambule.babys is currently based in Berlin.
