Black Bismarck

  • Theatre

At the invitation of Otto von Bismarck, the so-called “Congo Conference” took place at the Reichskanzlerpalais in 1884/85. Random borders were drawn throughout the African continent, most of which exist to this day, leading to frequent conflicts in the region. This date also marks the beginning of the thirty-year German colonial rule in the areas now known as Togo, Cameroon, Namibia, Tanzania, Burundi, and Rwanda. Population displacement, land grabs, plundering of resources, forced labour, war, and genocide were the consequences. The Berlin collective andcompany&Co. examines this history, localizing its presence in contemporary Berlin and interweaving the results into a fast-paced performance. What now, white man?

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.
