Project: Man to Man

Manfred Karge’s one-woman tour-de-force presents Ella Gericke as struggles to survive and gain and regain her identity in the constantly shifting social and political climate of 20s to 80s Germany.

Directed by Bob Lockwood, who also did all the sound and lighting design, it showed Taru Sinclair’s range of rage and sweetness as she navigated Ella’s shifts and swerves.

Alison Hallett in a Portland Mercury review said, “The intimate Hipbone Studio is a perfect venue for a performance like this one and the makeshift quality of the staging adds to the impression of seeing something intimate and rare.”

This was performed in the US, UK and Germany over a several years.
