Diana, Even
- Dance
60 mins.
An arrow hits a tree in a forest. The hit sets the arrow into an infinite vibration. The vibration creates ripples on the still water and disturbs its surface. At that moment, Diana, the goddess of hunt and protector of flora and fauna falls dead. This violent redirection of the myth and its historical course creates a new mythical time-space. Diana now exists simultaneously as hunter and prey. In Kat Válastur’s new choreography the four dancers Xenia Koghilaki, Malika Lamwersiek, Ogbitse Omagbemi, Tamar Sonn and four polyphonic singers by the Greek female vocal group Pleiades embody these circles of action on a stage created by Leon Eixenberger and with the light design of Martin Beeretz. “Diana, Even” takes the event beyond mythic construction and thus suggests through quantum mechanical principles (the observer co-creates what is observed), a new reading of History.

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.
