Ball meets Battle – Voguing meets Popping, House, Hip Hop. For the first time in Berlin there will be a mix between the two dance scenes of Urban and Voguing. For “Berlin Is Burning” – loosely based on the voguing cult film “Paris Is Burning” – HAU2 will be transformed for a weekend into an energetic battle arena, in which participating dancers will compete in various categories. Germany’s two urban dance festivals, Funkin’ Stylez and Berlin Voguing Out, have become (sub)cultural junctions for the international dance scene in Europe and provide space for participants regardless of background, age and gender. The jury is made up of European pioneers from different scenes as well as New York legends, all invited to facilitate a generation-spanning exchange and to further develop the local and international dance scene. One highlight of the weekend is that the winners will qualify for the Funkin’ Stylez Finale in the summer of 2016.
On December 12 we will live stream the event "Berlin Voguing Out" to the global Voguing community starting at 8pm until approx. 1am (local Central European Time / UTC+1). The livestream can be accessed via the website of HAU Hebbel am Ufer: www.hebbel-am-ufer.de/live

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.
