- Performance
Dominic Huber is setting up an imaginary border station made from temporary and mobile housing. The inspiration for the interactive installation is the novel “Waiting for the Barbarians”, in which J.M. Coetzee creates a Kafkaesque world in an unspecified time. Visitors are led through the station one after the other – and meet up with the bizarre inhabitants and other border crossers, resulting in an encounter with the stranger opposite and the other in oneself.
Production: blendwerk Gmbh. Coproduction: Gessnerallee Zürich und PRAIRIE, the Migros Cultural Percent co-production porgramme with innovative Swiss theatre groups.
Supported by: Stadt Zürich Kultur, Pro Helvetia / Schweizer Kulturstiftung, Kanton Zürich Fachstelle Kultur, Migros Kulturprozent, Georges und Jenny Bloch-Stiftung, Dr. Adolf Streuli-Stiftung.

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.
