Marieke&Sophia

The collective Marieke&Sophia consists of Marieke Schraepen and Sophie Bauer. The leitmotif throughout the work of Marieke&Sophia is a fascination with the (female) body and the imagination and meaning ascribed to it. They go looking for the cultural scripts that mould and discipline our bodies, and the possible opposition within those scripts. They previously created Guilty of Love, a piece about the imagination of the raped body and the clichés about it.

In Motherbaby, Kristien De Proost joins them on the stage. She is a theatre-maker and actress, who has worked at, among other venues, Bronks, Het Toneelhuis, and Victoria, and was part of the artistic heart of Tristero from 2004 to 2017. She is currently focusing on writing, solo work, and encounters with new artists.
