Kim, a dazzling solo performance by Nairi Hadodo, brings the Kim Kardashian phenomenon to the stage. With evocative choreography, iconic pop references and last but not least, tracks from Kim’s controversial ex-husband Kanye West, she presents a multi-layered portrait of an entrepreneur and personality. Using their shared Armenian ancestry as a foundation, Hadodo weaves elements of Kim Kardashian’s biography together with her own. Thus, Kim is more than a spectacle about fame and self-actualisation. This performance exposes the myths of Hollywood glamour and turns into a discursive interrogation of identity, female power and how much humanity is behind a perfectly manicured façade.
After Nairi Hadodo successfully wrote, directed and performed the evening at Theater Basel with director Daniela Holtz, they are adapting Kim together for the Gorki.
Berlin-Premiere 3/Mai 2025
As part of 100 + 10 - Armenian Allegories
