In “Ars moriendi” CapriConnection and the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis grappled with the inability to grasp death. Now, in their current production “Ars vivendi,” they turn to the individual search for happiness in times in which self-fulfilment has long seemed more like running the gauntlet, directed by Anna-Sophie Mahler. A group of individuals, all of whom are stricken by burnout, look for refuge in a remote location, trying to finally get some peace of mind and to find the necessary orientation point in their identity crisis. In a nature that still exists merely as a surface on which to project unfulfilled longings, passions appear all the more intensely. Under the musical direction of Anthony Rooley, a young ensemble consisting of eight musicians brings to life madrigals from the early Italian Baroque, including compositions by Monteverdi, Orazio Vecchi, Carlo Gesualdo, and Luzzasco Luzzaschi.

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.
