Since the performances of “a name / שם” take place during the week of the Jewish holiday Purim, Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends invite everyone to join a costume party after the show. Feel free to stay after the performances or simply come to HAU2 at 8:30 PM!
On Purim, masquerades are celebrated – not only as a way to embrace inauthenticity but also to explore the liberating potential of escaping one’s ‘true’ identity, even for a moment. All guests are warmly invited to choose a new name, wear a costume, or step into a chosen persona. Grab a drink with Ariel Efraim Ashbel & Friends and dare to set the dance floor in motion to the sounds of the legendary DJ Obstsalat.
There are two marked parking spots in front of the building. Barrier-free restroom facilities are available. Four relaxed seats are available in the first row of HAU2. Tickets for wheelchair users and accompanying persons can also be booked via the ticketing system. If you need help, please contact our Ticketing & Service team at +49 (0)30 259004-27 or send us an email to

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.
