Magnificence

Zora Schemm, born in 1987 in Brazil, has been a member of the Berlin RambaZamba Theater acting ensemble since 2010. In the 2025/26 season she plays in Milan Peschel’s production of “Mord im Regionalexpress” (Murder on the Regional Express). She has also performed in various productions at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin and in Florentina Holzinger’s “Ophelia’s Got Talent” in 2022 at the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz.

The poem by Zora Schlemm is from a collection of pieces entitled “Herrlichkeit 1 und 2” (Magnificence 1 and 2), which she developed in collaboration with her fellow actors Anil Merickan, Nele Winkler, Moritz Höhne and Franziska Kleinert as part of an inclusive writing workshop by the Deutsches Theater and RambaZamba Theater. The texts were performed as a workshop presentation at the Deutsches Theater during the ATT 2025 Festival.
