In her durational performance, the artist Anna Berndtson deals with her personal boundaries. Infinitely slow she
moves through a landscape of tennis balls, clearing her way using her white cane. This work evokes associations of competitive sports, visual impairment and speed norms, as well as the “collective trauma“ and the pressure on Swedish children in the 1970s and 80s to become the next Björn Borg.
Anna Berndtson lives and works in Malmö and Berlin. She was a student of Marina Abramović at HBK
Braunschweig. “Borg” (2002) was a turning point in her artistic work. For the first time, the picture became more important
than the action. It also was the first time her disability was the focus of her work.

Notes:
Going to the theatre often requires long periods of sitting on more or less comfortable seats in confined spaces. We offer alternatives, so that more people can enjoy the event. At all events there are a variety of options for sitting or laying down, e.g. beanbags, sofas or mattresses. These alternative seats are limited. Please use the Early Boarding or contact us directly after purchasing your ticket.

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.
