Three authors form a band: NO SCRIBES. In a literary show, they address issues of identity and class, girlhood, and pop feminism.
Hardly any other cultural phenomenon shaped the 90s and 00s as much as girl bands: young women, carefully assembled according to different types, marketed as a projection surface for desire, identification, and empowerment. Starting with Destiny’s Child, Tic Tac Toe, and the Spice Girls, NO SCRIBES bring together collective writing, pop culture references, and personal experiences. And they ask the question: What can a cultural practice look like that celebrates polyphony, friction, and perspectives of solidarity as an aesthetic and political principle?
An evening that combines homage and criticism, theory and dance floor, reading and show. For everyone who used to come up with their first choreographies in their bedrooms in front of MTV and Viva and is now looking for new forms of collective storytelling.
NO SCRIBES will premiere on November 7 and 8, 2025, at the Vagantenbühne theater and will be published simultaneously in print by SUKULTUR Verlag.
