Charlotta Öfverholm / Age on Stage
& DANCE ON ENSEMBLE / Johannes Wieland:
DANCE ON EXTENDED: show to be true

DANCE ON EXTENDED is a collaboration between the Swedish company Charlotta Öfverholm/Age on Stage and the DANCE ON ENSEMBLE, part of the Creative Europe-funded project “Dance On, Pass On, Dream On”.

During a five-week residence in Piteå, northern Sweden, in 2017, choreographer Johannes Wieland and eight dancers from both companies created the physical theatre piece show to be true. With arresting performances by the eight strong personalities in the cast, it reflects the menace and absurdity of the current social and political climate: “Lies forever! Let us bend and twist. Let us pretend. Let us mislead and deceive. Let us embrace total irrationality. Yes, exactly – let us just keep on bending and twisting, pretending, misleading and deceiving!” (Johannes Wieland)

Due to illness, the dancer Jan-Erik Wikström won‘t perform in the show.

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.
