Marie Hahne (b. 1993, Berlin) is an interdisciplinary performing artist working across theatre, performance art, and participatory formats. Her practice investigates ritual and play as embodied strategies for collective reflection and exploration.
Working with objects, storytelling, movement, and voice, she creates immersive environments that invite audiences are encouraged to step closer, listen, touch, and move – shifting from passive observation to active engagement as a tool for connection and community-building.
By incorporating everyday and site-specific elements, Hahne develops accessible entry points where participants engage physically and intuitively. What begins as play or curiosity often unfolds into deeper reflection on ecological, social, and cultural realities. Through such encounters, entrenched perspectives are gently unsettled, and art becomes accessible beyond intellectual discourse.
