Transforma Theatre

My Marlene, a one-Dietrich show dives into the contradictions that made Dietrich a legend: a selfless war hero, an elegant housefrau in tuxedo tails, a romantic with a parade of lovers and a gender-fluid icon who wore masculinity and femininity interchangeably – both on and off screen. This immersive, confessional theatre experience transforms the audience into the allied soldiers Marlene Dietrich entertained in World War II as an act of defiance against Nazism. With confessional storytelling, Weimar cabaret flair and songs full of bite and beauty, it's a celebration of resistance that feels more urgent than ever.
