"Angel M – eine Performance dank Ulrike Rosenbach".
Angel M is a performance that revolves around angels. What do angels and feminism have in common? Both have wings. Angels wear them either on their shoulders or on their foreheads, like horns. Or they wear them on their shoes and use them to deliver messages, whizzing blindly back and forth on data streams. And what do performers have in common with angels? They play with all of this – with the media that is in-between.
