TRAILER
Kim is an actress and narrator. She is also a sex worker, has sold soap, is a bar woman, German, Polish ... In Traumgirl, Kim negotiates how it is to work on the border of "real work", performance and so-called "dirty work". Traumgirl is the female counterpart to the solo performance Traumboy about male sex work and also moves between documentary theatre and autofiction. The solo questions not only female sex work, but sex and work in general against the background of a neoliberal society. What can a woman reveal about herself? What not? And who pays the price?
Traumgirl has been presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as part of Pro Helvetia’s Swiss Selection Edinburgh. The Swiss premieres happened for the opening of the new Tanzhaus Zürich and for the 35th anniversary of XENIA - Fachstelle Sexarbeit at Schlachthaus Theater Bern.
In 2021, «Traumgirl RMX» was created including the recent changes that our work, private and sex lives went through the past year. «Traumgirl RMX» premiered at the Jerkoff Festival, Paris. Funded by Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media in the NEUSTART KULTUR program, aid program DIS-TANZEN of the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.
