Ilsa’s Garden by Anna Peschke (Germany)

Ilsa was the protagonist of an eponymous 1974 Nazi exploitation film. An unscrupulous officer and concentration camp doctor, this ‘She-Wolf of the SS’ is an unsettling creation, inhabited here by the artist to interrogate the appeal of German Fascism. The lyrics of Friedrich Hollaender’s revue songs are the only words disturbing an intense procession of images in a dark, otherwise silent cabaret.

Since graduating from her studies in Applied Theatre Science in Gießen, Germany, Anna has created work at the meeting point of visual and scenic art, often responding to the architecture and history of specific spaces.
