andcompany&Co. is staging an “adult play for children” aged ten and up, that appeals to adults and children alike. It is inspired by the novel “Child of All Nations” by author Irmgard Keun, who had to flee from the Nazis. The story of eleven-year-old protagonist Kully is interwoven with personal accounts from the actors, such as author and performer Luna Ali, who fled Syria with her family as a child, and Damon Taleghani, whose parents came from Iran to Germany. The result is an immediate, humorous and, above all, timeless description of exile in Germany in which pressing questions about flight, migration, and human rights are tackled: Who vouches for those whom no one can vouch for? What does it mean to be a child of every country and therefore of no country? Be there as more and more of these words are questioned, turned upside-down and renegotiated by the performers on stage until the adults run out of breath, while the visa that is supposed to bring everyone to a new country finally expires altogether.

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.
