Jaamil Olawale Kosoko
#negrophobia
- Tanz im August
Pain lies at the center of Jaamil Olawale Kosoko’s performance #negrophobia, a personal story about loss and the luck of escape. In response to the violent death of his brother, Kosoko investigates the identity of African-American men. An artist and poet with an immense physical presence, in his lecture performance, Kosoko navigates between personal and social concerns. Together with IMMA/MESS, a dancer and performer who incorporates drag elements into the performance, he presents the audience with powerfully staged bodies, forcing them to contemplate how they might also be involved in the construction of forms of racism.
#negrophobia was created with commissioning support from Gibney Dance.

tickets@hebbel-am-ufer.de.Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
