Veranstaltungsdetails
"... so that I can give pleasure and joy to both connoisseurs of art and lovers of insects."
Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was a naturalist, artist, businesswoman, author and publisher of various books on flowers and caterpillars.
She was one of the first to observe the metamorphosis of insects in their habitat and record it precisely in drawings. She sailed to Suriname, criticized the colonialists' slavery and their pursuit of profit and lamented the disappearance of biodiversity on the plantations.
Metamorphosis not only shaped Maria Sibylla Merian's life's work. She herself also repeatedly threw off the tight corset that her time imposed on women and reinvented herself.
With Maria Sibylla Merian, another independent woman joins the long gallery of historical female figures that the actress, writer and historian Satu Blanc has been bringing to the stage for 20 years.
