Spend a Day at the Festival Accompanied by an Artist from Berlin’s Independent Performing Arts Community

Members of Berlin’s independent performing arts community become guides during the festival who select their very own personal highlights from the broad array of festival programming and invite audience members to set off with them on a journey of discovery throughout the festival. Tours will include an average of three productions. In addition, audience members have the opportunity to talk about and discuss what they have seen and Berlin’s independent performing arts community within the group. A variety of artists invites audience members to participate in a total of 13 tours throughout the week of the festival.

Admission to the various performances is included in the ticket price of the tours. The travel between the performance venues will be conducted on public transportation. Public transportation tickets are not included in the price.

Tour 4: Curiosity Killed the Cat

Tour Guide: STEFANIE LEINERT

At Ballhaus Ost, we will observe BEACH BIRDS dancing to Flashdance who solves problems in the group by playing spin the bottle. In HAU 2, we will enter Die Müllermatrix, or The Müller Matrix, to find answers to questions we do not know we have. Finally, we’ll end up at Theaterhaus Mitte with Kafka on a trapeze. We will travel between the performance venues by U-Bahn (or you can take your own bike, if you’d like) and there will be the opportunity to stop for a meal at WAU (Wirtshaus am Ufer) while visiting HAU 2. I have no idea why it occured to me to name my tour after this saying, but I can tell you this: the 1980s band will not perform and the saying was originally "care killed a cat" - let's head off together into the unknown!

Ballhaus Ost is a production space for independent theatre, performance and dance.
Located in the former celebration and assembly hall of a Berlin Free Church Community, built in 1907, Ballhaus Ost cooperates with groups and artists from all fields of the performing arts, including well established groups and artists as well as newcomers and so far not well known participants of the independent theater scene.
As an experimental stage for various forms of contemporary theatre, Ballhaus Ost invites to experience and discover new ways of artistic debates with today's reality of life.
Before the venue was reestablished as theatre, in the GDR, the ballroom was used as „Casino des Handwerks“, after the breakdown oft he wall it was a pool hall and a night club.
Ballhaus Ost was established by the directors Uwe-Moritz Eichler, Philipp Reuter and the actress Anne Tismer in 2006. Since 2011 Daniel Schrader and Tina Pfurr have been the artistic directors.
