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 5: FREEDOM – A Beautiful Word
Tour Guide: MAIKE KRAUSE
Today’s walk through the neighborhood will see you how Neukölln lives, laughs and moves. To begin, Merlin Puppet Theatre opens the doors on five different apartments, letting us look in on the comedy and tragedy that befall their inhabitants. Locked within their four walls, these bleak puppets dance the choreography of their not quite everyday madness.
Following this, the PAUL Collective place human physicality as the central focus of their observations: using dance and performance formats, FRAGILE TEXTURE examines the texture, movement and fragility of the human body.
The statement by Jean-Jacques Rosseau that Nico and the Navigators are using as the point of departure for their work can also serve as a lovely expression of the debate on basic principles making up all three performances on our tour. “The freedom of the human being is not that they can do what they want, but instead that they do not have to do what they do not want to do."
Im Gegensatz zu dir, or In Contrast To You, discusses the freedom of the individual and the freedom of the many in a musical performative debate.
