**Is Nudity the New Normal on Berlin Stages**
Once confined to radical performance art, Stage Editor Rhyannon Styles claims the naked body is now a mainstay in Berlin theatre.
04.04.2026
The naked performer is a familiar presence on Berlin’s stages. But one wonders: was this always the case? In the city’s dance, theatre and performance scene, nudity appears so frequently that audiences are rarely shocked. The appearance of an unclothed performer carries a particular tension. But is it still a tension between artistic freedom, vulnerability and spectacle? Or is it whether nudity on stage is still radical at all?
The topic comes to mind following Kysy Fischer and ABA NAIA’s restaging of Super Superficial at Hebbel am Ufer and the opening of Balkan Erotic Epic. The Exhibition by Marina Abramović. In the past few years, I’ve also encountered it in works such as André Uerba’s Æffective Choreography, Jefta van Dinther’s Dark Field Analysis and Eddie Peake’s Portent. Then there are the large-scale productions of Florentina Holzinger, which frequently feature predominantly unclothed performers.
Holzinger said in an interview with Numéro Berlin in 2023, “I’ve always been more interested in what’s underneath, what’s happening ‘behind closed curtains’. I’ve found it somehow liberating to show the body at work and not just in anything private or sexualised.” In her work, a naked figure becomes less an object of desire than a theatrical instrument. Nudity is stripped of conventional erotic meaning and instead becomes a tool...
Weil es mir heute beim #Fotovorschlag so krass aufgefallen ist, hier ein Vergleich der unterschiedlichen Darstellungsqualität bei den Android-Apps #moshidon#pachli und #tusky. (vlnr) Moshidon hat ein sehr schönes Interface, bietet aber leider nicht die Möglichkeit, den Fokus-Punkt zu verschieben. Tusky ist zum Ansehen der Bilder kaum zu empfehlen, Pachli ist qualitativ in der Fotodarstellung am besten. #mastodon#Apps#Android#qualität#Foto#photography
My #Openclaw#AI is trying to install #Mastodon on one of my #VPS. It’s been doing this for two days in a row now. Two things left to do after those two days of installing and configuring: - Reverse #nginx proxy with SSL - #tailscale funnel access
One thing is for sure: Manual install would have been A LOT faster.

**Social media scandalized by ‘naked mom theory’ — but some claim it’s good parenting: ‘Traumatizing’**
By Asia Grace, April 3, 2026
They’re parenting with the bare necessities.
Without shame, nor a stitch of clothing, some mothers are perfectly comfortable being completely nude in front of their kiddos, despite a little one’s age or gender.
These unabashed forbearers are being hailed as pioneers of the “naked mom theory” movement, a digital trend in which woman are celebrating their natural frames while simultaneously demonstrating body positivity and self-acceptance to their young.
But not everyone online is applauding the raw child-rearing style.
“I learned about the ‘naked mom theory’ last night. As someone who didn’t grow up around women that s—t has me blown,” a stunned X user tweeted. “Y’all mamas was naked around yall?.”
The question garnered a wave of mixed responses from supporters and detractors of the lifestyle.
“The ‘naked mom theory’ is actually rooted in attachment psychology. Children who grow up with body neutral households develop significantly less shame, healthier relationships with their own bodies, and lower rates of eating disorders,” an advocate commented. “The cultures that hide the human body the most are the same ones with the highest rates of body dysmorphia. Shame isn’t modesty, it’s a taught disease.”
“It’s actually important that kids see naked bodies in a non sexual way,” another tweeted. “This is why so many people have issues nowadays. You should be seeing your father and mother nude.”
After 30 days of waiting from a failed migration from my old, intermittently broken home (sdf.org) I was able to re-try my migration. This time it worked!
