Keith Hennessy / Circo Zero

Turbulence (a dance about the economy)

Part of "Marx' Gespenster"

  • Dance
  • Performance
English /  90min

In a collective process, Keith Hennessy and 15 performers have developed an experimental hybrid out of contemporary dance, performance-installation and political theatre. The production methods of the performance can be understood as a response to both economic as well as ecological crises. New members join in at each performance, risking their bodies and spirits. A temporary, queer micro-society emerges – with no clear beginning and an open end – in which hierarchies are being negotiated and played with.

Production: Circo Zero. Co-production: CounterPULSE, Regards et Mouvements. Made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and additional funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the MetLife Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional funding includes Zellerbach Family Foundation, the New Stages in Dance grant, the SF Arts Commission OPG and 126 individual donors.

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.
